Yes, in 10.3 it works, but not in 11.0. And it works if instead of 'su' you use 'sux', but you have to create the 'sux' symlink first. The allegation (made by Brian) is that exporting DISPLAY may be dangerous and contrary to the policy of "su -" of dropping the original user's environment. So a clarification of all this would be needed, from someone in the know, so that we know if it is intentional or accidental (thus a bug), and if the solution is to create the symlink again, manually, or to use "su" instead of "su -", or we should use another incantation ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
