Did you try to call:
xhost +localhost
before your su command?
Looks like your X session is not letting your other user access your display.
$.02, hope it helps.

Hi,
I'm a former kde user, using Windowmaker now....
And in the past i always used RUN in kde, to startup my favourite irc client...
RUN had several options to execute programs under a different user etc, which comes in handy when using IRC...
if that run thing was a command that can be done then it can still be used under windowmaker...
But now i need to use SU i think to accomplish this, but it doesnt work :(
wierd it works here...
su <username> -c <command>
example...
su kitsune -c scilab
this will su user kitsune and then run scilab
Does anyone know which command i can use to execute an X program under a different user?
this will work too...
ssh 127.0.0.1 -X -l <username>
the -X turns on X forwarding
when i try su [user] -c xchat, i get this error:Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 RUN in kde was a kde-specific command...i think it was in the KDE Panel To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
