Oops, still learning to read. I have a related problem, but it's with Gnome. Here's the sequence: 1) login as a regular use via gdm 2) open a terminal and su 3) gtop & Leads to this error on the terminal: GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
Over time, I accumulate these messages too: glibtop: glibtop_get_proc_state (): Client requested field mask 0000f, but only have 0000c. glibtop: glibtop_get_proc_mem (): Client requested field mask 0003f, but only have 00032. By the way, I tried xhost +. It didn't affect the preceding problems. On Fri, Feb 16, 2001 at 07:58:57AM -0500, Andrew Perrin wrote: > Sure - check out man xhost.
