desktop-source-test might require root #161

I had to run desktop-source-test with root privilege. I don't know if this is documented elsewhere but it would be nice if this is mentioned in README.md

This is lacking some details... Why did you need to run it as root?

Off the top of my head: Talking to connman over D-Bus is a privileged operation but typically there's a "at_console" rule that allows a local user to do it.

When I try to connect without root, after accepting, connmanctl on the client shows

Agent ReportPeerError peer_xxx 
  connect-failed
Agent request cancelled by ConnMan

desktop source shows this after a while: connect error GDBus.Error:net.connman.Error.Failed: Input/output error

I tried looking at the output of dbus-monitor but i'm not very familiar with dbus and don't know what to look for. I installed connman from arch repository.
