hmm.. I'm using Debian's xbase package with a X authority type program, which only lets certain users use X... and I'm trying to get X to allow me to su - to root, set the DISPLAY and run X programs as root... that must have been why I received those errors.. for some reason Debian's program denies root from running X programs while another user is using the display. > You can turn off this security by typing `xhost +localhost' at an > xterm prompt; thenceforth during that X session any user on the local > computer will be able to run clients. hmm.. I'll try that, maybe that will temperary fix my problem with running root programs while another user is using the display. > BTW, why don't you add a Reply-To: header?
