Of course, it is not. Ssystem(MTASK_xxxx, xxxx, xxxx) is restricted to
root, as calling this function may affect all users currently logged on
the system. All (I meant: ALL) XBIOS functions need such restriction in
the same way: for now MiNT allows any user (even telnetted from the other
end of the world) to switch console's resolutuion and such funny things,
those I consider rather bad ;)

However, XBIOS restriction is delayed becayse MiNTLibs doesn't define any
Falcon XBIOS call. I'll be sitting on this next days, Yves, exspect a
large patch of osbind.h file :)
