I am debugging an application on 64-bit Linux that requires root access to execute. To that end, for debugging, I launch QtCreator as root (via beesu under RHEL 6/CentOS/Fedora). However, when QtCreator is launched as root, the entire Analyze menu item is missing, so that I can not
access Valgrind.

Anybody have ideas why?

This true for QtCreator versions up to 2.6.
