I am running Debian Sarge on a simple single-user desktop system. My X
display is started by kdm. By default, Debian configures the X server
to allow connections only by the user logged into the machine through
kdm. If I want to start an X client by another user (e.g. start vim-gtk
as su'd root) I have to first type "xhost +local" as the logged-in user,
or transfer xauth tokens to the unprivileged user. It doesn't seem like
this is something I should have to do all the time. Since my X server
is configured not to listen for TCP connections and since I am the only
user on the machine, "xhost +local" seems to be a reasonable default.
Does anyone disagree? How can I make "xhost +local" the default
configuration?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Doesn't kde has a "run-as" function? There's such a function in gnome...
wim.
