Patch vulnerabilities in fliccd and do not install suid root anymore.

Security: CAN-2005-0011
Security: Reference: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050215-1.txt
Security: If the fliccd binary is installed as suid root, it enables root
        privilege escalation for local users, or, if the daemon is
        actually running (which it does not by default) and is running
        as root, remote root privilege escalation.
