This isn't really a big problem, but just more on the annoying side. Whenver I
log in as a regular user, and then open up an xterm, su to root, and then try
to run a GUI application as root, I always get this error:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
I can run GUI stuff if I login as root at the login screen,
but it's sorta annoying to log out each time I want to run something that is
GUIfied but also requires root to run. The only exception is "linuxconf" which
does work even when I login as a regular user. I figure it's a permissions
problem somewhere, so any help would be appriciated to let me run X apps as
root.
And FYI, I'm using Mandrake 6.1.
