Ohh, that works!
Thank you.
Now, after
xhost +local:localhost
xhost says "non-network local connections being added to access control list"
This is quite different than anything I had before.
However after su I must still
export DISPLAY=:0
Then I can load synaptic.
I'd like to not be required to type the
export DISPLAY line every time.
I _believe_ I didn't have to do that in the past.
Also since
xhost +localhost
used to work fine, I'd like to understand why it has ceased to work.
Any idea on that?
Thanks very much for your tip.
