Thanks. That has resolved the problem. That said though, I still don't 
understand why a plain old su is not working, as it does on other distros, 
including my other Debian installs.

Never mind. So now I have Sarge, Etch, and Lenny, where I can just use su + 
password to use GUI apps, but now with the new Etch install, I have to use 
sux + password to use the GUI apps.

I am getting a bit old, and having to remember different commands for, in this 
case the same distro, that I have 2 instances installed, is a bit trying, but 
I suppose it keeps my brain active.

Nigel.
