Just picking up on your last point, presumably an implementation
doesn't actually have to hide these things - it could, for instance,
put a little icon to signify whether you needed administrative
priviledge to run it.
That would be useful even if you had the rights - it acts as a
warning to people that running this application may do dangerous
system stuff.
