Good question. Basically a couple of specialized applications that I run because of work that essentially need to be invoked from a gui desktop due to the failings of the programs. I would guess that there might be someway to start a Gnome session from within a su session but, I am certainly

Hey Mike, You could always/perjaps use VNC, and remotely access the vnc app over a secure ss tunnel, or just access VNC via it's regular/assigned vnc port. VNC works, gives you a complete desktop to run whatever you'd run on the normal desktop. And yeah, the downside is it's slower! -peace On T

I filed a bug (1040518) against the Mate desktop, and was told to ask upstream for help because they can help me. I don't understand this. I installed Mate from the Fedora DVD and I therefore expect the Fedora engineers to act as buffer between me and upstream. It should be their responsibility
