 ImageMagick fails to build for me. I guess it is because I do the

 use kdm for login and start the build after su in a Konsole.)

        Built just fine for me, about an hour ago, on -CURRENT with no
KDE involved.  OPTIONS screen worked fine.

Thanks. As I said, I tried to build with root while root was not allowed to use the display. Granting root access with 'xhost +local:' or 'setenv XAUTHORITY /usr/home/USER/.Xauthority' fixes the problem. Having to do that was kind of unexpected for me...

Maybe I was just wrong trying this with 'su' as root instead of properly being logged in with 'su -'. Having a DISPLAY=:0 set but being disallowed from using it, may not be expected.
