Hi:

I have Suse 9.1.

First, as the user currently using the X display, I did

xhost +localhost

Then I su -l to another user, then try to run an X program like konqueror. But it fails with the messages:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified

konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0.0

What am I missing?

The command is xhost +local: but prefer to use sux instead unless you are very very sure that no one can get to your machine, even as user nobody
