[CM] grace runs as root user only

[Heinrich Taube]

juan i think that log file check was happening because in Main.cpp i  
normally disable multiple versions running at the same time execpt on  
mac (to avoid a mac bug):

bool Grace::moreThanOneInstanceAllowed(void)
{
   return SysInfo::isMac();
}

i think juce uses that lock file to implement this function, which  
presumably caused the permission problem. now that youve deleted that  
(stale?) lock file ive put the the original behavior back  so you can  
try out the new app out to see if the locking problem comes back  
again. if it does then ill just always allow multiple instances  
everywhere.
thank you for helping me with this!
