Unfortunately I'm not in front of a linux-box right now.... but you could try: xhost +localhost:eric
since XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost I don't know about that one: XAUTHORITY=/var/run/gdm/auth-for-eric-nRFtsF/database I never hat to deal with stuff like that, but that is the direction I would be googling for. It is strange that you can run other apps though :/ What does your /etc/hosts look like? No idea if is causing this, but that file has fxxxed up things so often for me. I'm off for today. cheers, Thomas > Eric Gunther <[email protected]> hat am 15.
