Allowing root to display to X...



Hi all -

  I remember hearing once that if you linked your ~/.Xauthority to
/root/.Xauthority, a root shell would be able to run X applications (within
your regular user's X session). However, I tried this, and it doesn't seem
to work for me.

Any ideas? I'm trying to install Sun's latest Star Office.
