Please don't CC me. (If somehow my sig isn't clear enough, please let
me know how I can make it so.)
Anyway, the point of my question and your answer: since your normal
user successfully uses the setting of DISPLAY=:0.0 , I suggest trying
...
Oh wait a minute. I just looked at my .bashrc, etc and think I've
noticed the problem.
Try simply doing this:
DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY
(note that I don't use "set" at all)
Since :0.0 works, I don't see any real reason to use teufel explicitly,
but if your hostname is properly set up, it shouldn't be a problem.
And finally, please don't cc me =)
