Has anybody else run into this? Any ideas? I tried the obvious thing of doing suid root to the exectuable but it then refuses to run at all, saying that KDE libraries aren't safe for running suid root. Not a real high priority issue; I can use top and xosview to get the same effects, but it would be nice if I could get it to work. -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . . bts@babbleon.org (personal) http://www.babbleon.org http://www.eff.org http://www.programming-freedom.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
