Both web and dev require the use of variuous X applications but I don't want to logout and login back in and/or have to invoke the app from the cmd line (i.e. xhost +; setenv DISPLAY :0; app cmd line)... I am looking for a way to make it so I can launch apps from a desktop panel and/or icon on the desktop and make it ask what user to run it under (or somehow or another make it aware that not everything is to be ruin as "aryeh")... ideas? - -- Aryeh M.
