Re: X Applications as Root User

Though I know it is discouraged, I have a single-user 'sarge' system
protected by 'iptables' on which I want to run X11 applications when
logged in as 'root'.  I can use 'sudo' (e.g., "% sudo xlogo"), but I'd
rather directly access the apps as 'root' (e.g., "# xlogo").


I've had no difficulty doing that without making any configuration changes at all. Right now Ihave root running X applications on one, two,three four - yes - four different boxes. One's running KDE, the others FVWM.
