[gentoo-user] OT - Stupid Question about su That I Should Already Know The Answer To But Don't

2006-06-20 Thread Michael Sullivan
Since my reinstall last week, when I su - to root from the michael
account, root can't use GUI apps.  It used to be able to before the
install, and as far as I know, I didn't do anything special to enable
it.  How would I go about doing that?
