The proper procedure is:

Aha - that's sorted it for me, at least. Will I have to do this each time I log in / reboot? If so, can I put these commands into an automatically run file somewhere?
Please do not use xhost! It is completely insecure and defeats the purpose of using sux or kdesu
Uummmm...oops. I was having a similar problem and did the xhost thing Ken said. But now that you have a better and more secure way to get sux to work correctly, how do I *undo* the xhost thing above?
xhost -localhost, or xhost - man xhost -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes< http://wahoo.no-ip.org Registered Linux User #207535 icq#173753138 @ http://counter.li.org Linux, a continuous *learning* experience
