Re: Can't create .Xauthority for users

[Philippe Grenard <philippe.grenard@m4x.org>]

Hi!
well, i had some problems with this .Xauthority, but not the same way : when 
logged in, root couldn't open X-based applications...
after a lot of googling, i found something in the FAQ of xfree86-common
http://darbujan.fzu.cz/cgi-bin/dwww?type=text/plain&location=/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz

under the question "how do I run an X client as root when the X session is run 
by a user?" you could maybe find some ideas about this .Xauthority ? (they 
are speaking of a XAUTHORITY environment variable for example, but it's way 
above my level...)
