Hi,
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

Thanx for ur replies...
Tried the xhost command, but i get the exact error message afterwards...
So i guess something else causes the problem..
