The script currently says something like
/path/to/circle/autorun &
yes?
change it to
su -c user "/path/to/circle/autorun &"
[ If you really wanted to use the sticky bit, somethng like:
chown <user>.<group> -R /path/to/circle
chmod u+s,g+s /path/to/circle
chmod u+s,g+s /path/to/circle/bin/circle
could work.
