After an update (possibly pam related) a couple of weeks ago, I can no longer run so X apps under sudo (starting apps from a root logged in via su in an xterm work fine).
In particular, I have some scripts using gtkdialog (which run as root) to ask "which network" for my laptop using a small gui before starting the correct network. However, any attempt to open a dialog generates an error "(gtkdialog:18408): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" xhost + doesnt help so its probably another PAM problem - can someone recommend where to look?
