Hi everybody, Although a lot of people were extremely helpful with my previous request, im still facing some weird issues with Gtk and Gdk...
Me previous request was that when su'ing to root, i could not execute some graphical programs, with a Gtk error, i was told about xauthorities, and did some tweaking with some success; i put the Xauthority line in .bashrc, and after doing su, i did the xauth merge ~user/.Xauthority ... this worked when i did "su", but it did not work with su -. Could somebody translate this weird error messages into plain english please? :) Gdk_WARNING**: locale not supported by C library Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server Gtk_WARNING: cannot open display: :0 Now im also getting this other error message: Xlib: Invalid MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE key Anyway, after much battling, i just managed to pull gdmconfig out, allow for root login at the graphical prompt, and i just login with root instead of battling with su... although this is not solving my problems for su but oh well...
