I might be missing something, but I've just noticed that gtk flatly 
refuses to allow Lazarus programs to be run setuid. Now I see that 
http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html gives adequate reasons why this is 
deprecated but there are cases where it is valuable at least during 
development, and if fpGUI could exploit this niche it could be useful.
