This allows you to set everything up for that user and start and stop the xscreensaver daemon. You run this as the local user. There is a way to cheat xhosting as root if you are not running remotely. If you simply use "su" instead of "su -" it should keep all the environment including the DISPLAY setup correctly. This seems to work well for me. Generally I do this to xhost from root to my user display. $ xhost local: $ su - Password: # bash # export DISPLAY=:0 # gcalctool HTH Chris
