If you are using Ubuntu is better if you check the Ubuntu documentation and mailing lists, anyway xhost command is deprecated, better use xauth instead. Use the man page for details, to add root to your X session use something like xauth -f ~$USERNAME/.Xauthority extract - `hostname`/unix:0 | xauth merge - Andrea -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
