This comes down to a contextual issue. All I and Andrew did was take your question AS you had described it. In that case, I knew that there were 4 alternatives and actually the "su - -c'export DISPLAY=:0.0 && this_command'" suggestion is all that "xsu" is doing.
so why give me the long winded version when a concise one would do?
Sigh. If you want *that* kind of support, go pay for it. The fact is, you got your answer, and Andrew and I were just discussing other things related to it.
Your lack of information in that instance is all too apparant.
That may be so, but isnt this what this list is here for?
LOL, yes, but if you don't provide enough information, how are we to effectively help you? It's like saying: "My car is broke". * How is it broke? * Does the engine start? * Does it cut out after two mins, etc. You see. We should have to generate MORE traffic on this list, just to ascertain what ought to be common facts. Remember that we can only go by what YOU tell us. We're not sat at your computer.
