This is a followup to bug 786631.
Once that lands, the preallocated app will be running with root privledges until we know which app it will be, at which point the privledges will be lowered.
We should lower the privledges as soon as possible (perhaps even between the fork and exec) using seteuid/setegid.
Then, once we know what app the preallocated app will become we can raise priviledges back upto root (using seteuid(0)) and finally lock them in place using setuid/setgid (so no more elevation possible after that point).
