I am wondering why Xdialog can't connect to the X server when run from the at command. I am trying to write little scripts that pop up a message window using Xdialog, and they work, but if I try to use them in an 'at' command, instead of executing they fail & mail me this message:
Xdialog: Error initializing the GUI... Do you run under X11 with GTK+ v1.2.0+ installed ? ESC pressed. I log in graphically, with gdm, root is allowed to log in graphically also, and when I am running X as user, root can start most GUI programs. I noticed one app root cannot start - linuxconf-x gives the refused connection to server error. If I do xhost + then root can start linuxconf, but the behavior of Xdialog via 'at' is still the same, plus that's not the solution, just tried it to see. -CraigW
