That sounds like there is some sort of permission problem accessing X. Is there some way that the OO executable is "set UID"? Even root can't arbitrarily open a window on your session.

It crashes during the boot splash, with: find: /home/dcorking/.mozilla/firefox/yhklqowy.default/CT206790: Permission denied no suitable windowing system found, exiting. ** (process:12902): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ... I have googled the subject, and taken an strace (190 lines). But I can't make sense of the strace log, so I have posted it to http://paste.lisp.org/display/39834 What would you suggest as my next step to troubleshoot this?
