I tried that, but it didn't anything for me. Here's what happened:
Photon:/backups/differential # export Display=localhost:0.0 Photon:/backups/differential # emacs Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified
I have the same problem in Gnome, when trying to run any apps as root, i.e graphical installer and so forth, This works for me: (As an ordinary user) # xhost +localhost (As root) # export DISPLAY=:0.0 Now try running emacs Hope that helps Mark -- Please be aware that I do not read or reply to messages with attachments in any proprietary format.
