Description Paul Drain 2006-04-12 02:20:29 UTC 
Currently, the way Firestarter handles being root is sub-par -- adding this bug with a bunch of dependancies while I attempt to figure out a way of rectifying this properly.
Comment 1 Akhil Laddha 2011-12-06 06:15:09 UTC 
firestarter development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few years now. I contacted Tomas Junnonen (majix@iki.fi) because he is listed as Developer on project page but didn't get any response. I found firestarter on fedora wiki [1] under deprecated packages so i am closing all the bugs as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
