Subject:   OT: Xwindows Error While Using KDE 2.1
Message-ID:  <01061511253104.50316@milkmaker.lc.ca.gov>

I installed KDE 2.1.1 on my 4.3-STABLE machine.  I'm logged on via a 
regular account and open a terminal window.  If I enter a command while 
su'ed to root that would open up a window, I get the following error:

milkmaker# nmapfe
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
 
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

However if I issue the same command not su'ed, then it works fine.  I have 
experienced this with other commands as well such as konqueror.  Does 
anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Drew
