Unidentified subject!
When I log in to my debian system as non-root, I sometimes like to run a few X programs as root.
So I startup xterm, do a 'su', and then attempt launch the X program.
It always returns with an (paraphrased) error 'cannot connect to xserver - permission denied'.
What is causing this ? Do I need to put in a DISPLAY=Machine_Name:0.0 into /etc/profile ?
Any helps, thanks !
