Why does teamviewerd require root?

[evolvah]

I am wondering, what is it that teamviewerd does that it requires to run as root?

* For normal networking that does not involve privileged ports or promiscuous mode of the NIC, "root" is not required.
* To capture the X-Window session of some non-root user "root" is not required (I would think).
* So, the question is what is it that teamviewerd does that it can only do as "root"?
