Indeed. Therefore I use mfluch@seneca:~$ su Password: root@seneca:/home/mfluch> export XAUTHORITY=/home/mfluch/.Xauthority root@seneca:/home/mfluch> ...and then every X application works just as before as the normal user. - Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
