I'm guessing you already know more about X than I do (I didn't know about xhost until just now :) but here is what I do when I'm stumped: I keep an unprivileged user named "tester" with almost nothing in his home directory: i.e. no .local or .config or .cache or .dconf/.gconf directories, etc. If something works when I'm logged in as "tester" but not as me, I start copying the subdirectories in "tester"'s home directory one by one into my own home directory until the broken feature starts working again. (Of course, I move my own subdirectories out of the way before I do this.) The last few times this has happened to me, the problem was some sort of strangeness in my ~/.config/dconf/user file. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
