Hi! well, i had some problems with this .Xauthority, but not the same way : when logged in, root couldn't open X-based applications... after a lot of googling, i found something in the FAQ of xfree86-common http://darbujan.fzu.cz/cgi-bin/dwww?type=text/plain&location=/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz
under the question "how do I run an X client as root when the X session is run by a user?" you could maybe find some ideas about this .Xauthority ? (they are speaking of a XAUTHORITY environment variable for example, but it's way above my level...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
