I will know tomorrow morning. :) Oh wait, it won't. I had been running the script over and over today to set up the message window, but I had been running it as me (jjj). Just now I tried it with sudo and the message failed: No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused gxmessage: unable to initialize GTK (Sigh.) Gxmessage is the same as xmessage, except that it has some extra features and runs on GTK. Maybe I can repair this by switching to xmessage. I'll try that later. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
