Yes, and most - the life on Earth. >It should be just fine with "gksu -l newuser qbittorrent" This calls for root privileges - I would not run those this way. >("man gksu" for additional parameters to keep/discard the current user >environmental variables) It has not much to choose from. Seems nothing valuable. Well. Please, do not waste too much of Your time on me - I gave my question because I thought people use gksu a lot and easily would guess what's wrong w/ my configuration, but turns out we are looking for solution instead of correction of wrong configuration - so we can end up here and will try to make a work around myself - for so it seems me to be as the answer. Having said that, I want now simply to drop one of my tabs in console - to drop the multi message I have in it - as for now I have to run those 2 app.s from terminal (sux-ed to) of the target user. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
