running programs from user acctount as root (Andreas Bernauer)

[Ashley Pritchard]

thank you Andreas Bernauer for your response.
I tried your suggestion this morning this is the result:
[awp at localhost ~]$ xhost +localhost
localhost being added to access control list
[awp at localhost ~]$ su root
Password:
[root at localhost awp]# xhost +localhost
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost:  unable to open display ":0.0"
[root at localhost awp]# kdesu pup
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

kdesu: cannot connect to X server :0.0
 so neither command resolved the issue.

Diolch yn fawr, Ashley
