Rootless mode

[Harold L Hunt II]

Please do not release your own test version.  As I said, I am waiting 
for the repeating window movement to be looked into and possibly fixed. 
  I do not wish to get lots of duplicate bug reports for such an obvious 
bug.  If Kensuke says it doesn't happen with his version, then I will 
rebuild mine and try it again.
