af8ba09bbb Bite the bullet and make kcheckpass setuid root by default so the lock
and screensaver functions work by default (i.e. they let you back in if
you type the right password).  This will also avoid the caveat that quite
often people install KDE using the metaport and usually leave it runnning
and by the time it's done, the not-so-helpful message is long gone.

Usability police:	~20 emails from users...
Won't mind releasing a security advisory for this if needed:	kris

369fcbb329 Add a message to the port/package warning users about kcheckpass's
setuid root bit, which is off by default.  The purpose is to avoid
having users who don't use kcheckpass become vulnerable to a root
exploit.  For more details see the actual pkg-message.  Bump PORTREVISION
to reflect this change in the package.

As a side note, I'm a little wary about adding something like this so
close to the ports freeze for 4.4-RELEASE.  However, I decided that it
was a minimal risk and went ahead with it in the hopes of avoiding the
need for users to run into this "problem" themselves...
