To further my education, can anyone tell me the syntax to add root as a user of X? Oh, wait, I think I've got it (not tested): $ xhost + SI:localuser:root localuser:root being added to access control list And later, for security (I guess): $ *xhost - SI:localuser:root* localuser:root being removed from access control list
