So <c-r>system('xhost') inserts: access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect But I'm not sure.. wether I've enabled localhost.. Anyway, should this be possible? I mean root and "somesuer" should be able to connect to X without somesuer beeing able to run root tasks using --remote-send.. by default. > If your access control is disabled, then can you try 'xhost -' (turn > access control on) and repeat your check ? What you describe > can not happen, AFAIK, when x11 access control is enabled. I've looked at vim code once.. On x it's using some weired gtk hack.. To do this stuff. I think you've tried it yourself and weren't able to reproduce it.. So I think it's my setup only. Marc
