Don't use xhost - instead, either 'export XAUTHORITY=/home/youruser/.Xauthority' when you su to root, or make /root/.Xauthority a symbolic link to the .Xauthority in your normal home directory. 'dpkg -p xbase-clients' says: - xhost, a very dangerous program that you should never use; Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
