Yes, that's because the su or sudo session doesn't have credentials to use the starting session's X display. This will happen with any other program called this way if it attempts to use the X display either, and just so for any other user besides root that doesn't "own" the display. Use something like this: sudo -u <USER> xauth -f <HOME>/.Xauthority merge /home/$USER/.Xauthority This will add the display _owner's_ credentials to the .Xauthority in the <HOME> directory of <USER> (text in "<>" has to be adapted appropriately) to give him access to this display. Or you could do it like this: xauth extract - $DISPLAY |\ sudo -u <USER> xauth -f <HOME>/.Xauthority merge - XAUTHORITY=<HOME>/.Xauthority exec sudo -u <USER> <COMMAND> which will do about the same thing another way. (And it will even suffice to do this once as long as the X configuration doesn't change or something else provokes a recreation of the display owner's .Xauthority file.) As the others said, this is an X issue, it doesn't have anything to do with MSEIDE-MSEGUI and will affect any other program the same. The above recipes can be found abundantely "on the net" and explained to any detail you are interested in. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
