Nothing but what's the difference between running kazaa as jimpop and
kazaa as root any other lesser known app which might have a back door 
due to less scruitany?

The issue isn't (generally) the well known apps which have many
developers looking at it over a long time such as mkfs, ifconfig, ip,
etc but the other 3rd party apps with a less picked apart code.
