Comment:
I agree, installing SUID root is not a good thing in this case. I don't
think I was able to kill random processes without running `htop` as `sudo
htop`, though. I wonder whether my system is different there, but can't
check at the moment.
I also wonder whether there is a way to automatically determine when we're
in a non-root installation and change the default variants accordingly.
