2nd user logging in has no ability to use mplayer

well, this is probably the same issue I had before, but a different application. My wife rebooted my PC and when she logs in first, I am not able to do things, without being root. Before it was burning CD's, now it is using mplayer. the screen pops up, then disappears. I can drop to a konsole, su to root, run mplayer and that works, but not as a user. I know if I reboot and log in first, the issue will disappear. Is there some master file that stops the 2nd user logging in from running things???? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
