* Interface
- If the current profile has a name, display it in the title bar
- Sould just install the kernel module if it running as root, pop up
a dialog if not. Note we must be able to start without module now,
since it is useful to just load profiles from disk.
- Is there a portable way of asking for the root password?
- Install a small suid program that only inserts the module?
(instant security hole ..)
- hook up menu items view/start etc (or possibly get rid of them or
move them)
- Consider expanding a few more levels of a new descendants tree
* Build system
- Need to make "make install" work (how do you know where to install
kernel modules?)
- in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/
- need to run depmod as root after that
- Then modprobe run as root should correctly find it.
- Find out if that PREFIX business in Makefile was really such
a great idea.
- Find out what distributions it actually works on
(ask for sucess/failure-stories in 0.9.x releases)
- auto*?
- .desktop file

- .desktop file
[Is this worth it? You will often want to start it as root,
and you will need to insert the module from the command line]
- Applications should be able to say "start profiling", "stop profiling"
so that you can limit the profiling to specific areas.
