And in the past i always used RUN in kde, to startup my favourite irc client... RUN had several options to execute programs under a different user etc, which comes in handy when using IRC... But now i need to use SU i think to accomplish this, but it doesnt work :( Does anyone know which command i can use to execute an X program under a different user?
