Ah, ok, you are in X. Do you now, you can start a second windowmanager as root without logoff as the other user? If doing so, you can switch between both with "CTL + ALT + F7" (standard graphical terminalport in debian for first user) and "CTL + ALT + F8" (next graphical port for secon user). This might becoming handy, when often switch between root and normal user. Just an idea. Nice, that your problem is solved! Have a nice day! Hans
