>Description:
I am at the moment using XFree86 4.03.  When I try to run say, gedit
or any other programs as a super user from console, I get connection to
":0.0" refused by server!  Here's exactly what's on my screen.


%su
Password:
198# gedit
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
198# 

Any way I can change in xserver setting so I can open editors as a super user?

Thank you.


Yours sincerely,

>How-To-Repeat:
Log in to gnome or any othe desktop or window managers as a regular user.
Then open terminal or console.  Try to run any programs, say gedit or kedit
as a super user.
