Oliver,
you can not change mankind :-) There will always be those who think
that they need root access all the time. I worked as a Unix sysadmin
and I rarely log in as root into a machine because I know what can go
wrong.
So just give them what they are asking for, but don't make it too
easy:
Just add a command line switch that let's the user run xsane as root.
If this switch is not there generate an error message telling the user
that what they are trying to do is dangerous and that you will not
accept any problem reports from that. Then tell them how they can
run xsane as root.
In addition to that I would create a warning window everytime somebody
tries to start the program as root.
