Thank you both, Changing the configuration for the root session in Konsole from su - to su solved my problem. I've never quite really understood how the DISPLAY works. If I launch an X application on the computer Z with an IP of A and I want the application to be displayed on computer Y with an IP of B, how should I write the DISPLAY variable ? Normally with ssh -X it works automagically, but sometimes not. Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
