correct. usually, root can not start x. although i dunno how to enable it. usually, all control tools will ask for root password when you try doing something not allowed for a normal user. if your program doesnt do that, start a terminal program, get into su and start the program from that prompt. hth -- regards, sandip p deshmukh ------***-------- A day without orange juice is like a day without orange juice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
