You all are right concerning the security-issues with xhost. I wasn't aware how big the issues *really* are. xhost didn't do me any harm though (well, I don't have any login-shell users beside me and I always wase careful to undo the xhost +local when I was finished doing whatever I did). I think I'll fight the bad habit and use things like sux/sudo/kdesudo/etc. from now on.. thanks, Johannes -- "More than machinery we need humanity" -- Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator
