Whenever I install a new Debian Woody system, create a normal user account, then log in as that user, some X-based (and maybe some non-X, but I don't recall right now) programs work fine, while others require sudo access.
One example is Mozilla via apt-get. I discovered kword works fine. I performed a permissions and owner/group comparison of mozilla-1.0.0 to /usr/bin/kword and found both to be the same. What actually happens is I start Mozilla with just typing mozilla, for example, and it will try to start, then fail. Another example is X. I set KDE as my window manager, type startx, and get a warning in the standard X background before the window manager kicks in that KDE does not have permission to write to /home/scott/.ICEauthority and get dumped back to my tty console. I redo this with sudo startx and all works fine. What am I missing? I would love to finally know the solution, as I am likely going to convert my home setup to Debian w/X from Windows. Learning the answer will also let me fix the same issues for people at work who have installed Debian on their laptops. Thanks for any pointers.
