Anyway, the point of my question and your answer: since your normal user successfully uses the setting of DISPLAY=:0.0 , I suggest trying ... Oh wait a minute. I just looked at my .bashrc, etc and think I've noticed the problem. Try simply doing this: DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY (note that I don't use "set" at all) Since :0.0 works, I don't see any real reason to use teufel explicitly, but if your hostname is properly set up, it shouldn't be a problem. And finally, please don't cc me =) -- monique PLEASE don't CC me. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top. Whatever it takes, just don't CC me!
