If you're logged into a X as a user and su to root in a console, root
won't have the appropriate credentials to access X (~/.Xauthority). One
way around this is to allow forwarded X connections in sshd and run
ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED]
instead of su. the '-Y' parameter sets the DISPLAY variable and
forwards X connections to your running window manager.
any other solutions out there?
