Every user has a session bus which is what libnotify uses. Only applications running in that session can access that bus. If you want root to send notifications you will have to relay the message through a proxy which listens on the system bus and then sends the message over the users session bus. Nothing like that has been built yet. </pre> </blockquote> Ok, i see, thanks for make it clear for me. Tim </body> </html>
