Hi Shriramana,
Sigh. I fully understand that I'm not supposed to play Frozen Bubble as root. I only wanted to know what's wrong with running a graphical environment as root. Does that need to come under so much heat from you techies?
... I said nothing personal and I meant it this way. Also, the problem is that many answers can be found by googling around for a couple of minutes, especially if Linux is concerned. I understand that asking a question is faster to do but please also consider that answering the same questions over and over again is not exactly fun. As for Linux' or Unix' conceptual or philosophical documentation you'll find just as much on the net as you'll find technical stuff. Trying out something is good as long as you can trash and reinstall the system any time. But if you want to actually use an operating system for work, _ANY_ operating system, a little practice tweaking and tampering with it _before_ starting to actually use it DOES help. Another thing is that it was explained to you multiple times but if you insist on i-wanna-be-gui-root then it has to be explained, well, a little more explicitely. THIS is why techies usually get upset if someone repeats the question over and over just rephrasing it. The techies' impression then inevitably must be that the person asking does NOT actually want to learn or know something substantial but rather wants something done for him. Techies consider that a waste of time, rightly so if I may add. In that case, said person better take his computer to someone who knows something about technical stuff, which in 99.99999999% of all cases exclude so-called Windows experts... -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net
