Hiya all, I wonder if anyone can help me. I run apps such as mozilla etc as a normal user fine under XFree86-4 (built from the ports collection). However when I run a graphical application as root I get the following message and it aborts: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 Any help would be greatly appreciated.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- It is automatic log-in and notification.
