Hi all: I have just upgraded mu X-server to the unstable branch and switched to using the gnome packages of unstable, and now i am not able to give the root user permission to access the X server belonging to normal user. Before I had a link from '/root/.Xauthority' to my_user/.Xauthority and I was able to run X clients as root displaying in my X server of the normal user... Now, with all the upgrade, I am not able to do it anymore... I have even tried using:
#export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 $xhost +localhost without success... I see that the client tries to access the x server since ippl reports 'x11 connection attemp', but I am absolutely unable to get anything started as root to display in my screen... I have enabled tcp connections to the X server... and nothing... I am starting to be a bit lost... Anyone giving me a hint on how to run an X client as root and display in my user X server?
