My guess is that the shell in your terminal is not running as the same user you logged in as -- did you su to root? Simplest solution: don't su within the terminal; just stay as your normal user and everything should be OK. (X security is a complicated system, so I didn't go into it here. I can post a brief explanation of the issues if you're interested.) Richard
