Still having weird issues with Gtk...

[camilo@cancun.com]

Hi everybody,

Although a lot of people were extremely helpful with my previous
request, im still facing some weird issues with Gtk and Gdk...

Me previous request was that when su'ing to root, i could not
execute some graphical programs, with a Gtk error, i was told
about xauthorities, and did some tweaking with some success; i
put the Xauthority line in .bashrc, and after doing su, i did the xauth
merge ~user/.Xauthority ... this worked when i did "su", but it did
not work with su -. Could somebody translate this weird error
messages into plain english please? :)

Gdk_WARNING**: locale not supported by C library
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server
Gtk_WARNING: cannot open display: :0

Now im also getting this other error message:
Xlib: Invalid MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE key


Anyway, after much battling, i just managed to pull gdmconfig out,
allow for root login at the graphical prompt, and i just login with root
instead of battling with su... although this is not solving my
problems for su but oh well...

Thanks..
Camilo
