Not the case. Running telnet as root has no bearing on what
permissions dgamelaunch runs as. This is determined by whatever is
launching dgamelaunch, which I presume is an /etc/xinetd.conf file.
This is the file where you need to configure the launch user.

dgamelaunch needs to be launched as root due to the need to chroot. It
immediately chroots and sheds privs, but that message you're getting
means it isn't being launched as root by your inetd.
