Hi,

 before I 

                emerge -e system/world

 my whole system I could allow root to open the X display by typing

        xhost +local:root ??? 

 . This seems to not to work any longer.

 When starting ethereal/wireshark I get:

        Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

 . 

 I searched the gentoo wiki for matches to combinations of 

        X11 root xhost

 and such but didnt find anything else than the xhost command as shown
 above.

 Is there any way to allow root to use the X display when a user has
 opened the session and su'ed to root ?

 Thank you very much for any help in advance !

 Kind regards,
 mcc
