You shouldn't use xhost this way. Use this instead: export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority Now you can use su (not "su -"!) to start X programs just fine (this works only for root). If you need root's environment setup, maybe use "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]" or set the XAUTHORITY as root, there. HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
