You can either: a) As the user who started the X session, run 'xhost +localhost'. It is very important that this is run by the user who started the session :) b) Set the XAUTHORITY variable to /home/<user who started session>/.Xauthority . For instance, 'set XAUTHORITY=/home/<user>/.Xauthority; export XAUTHORITY'. David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)
