I'm not using pkexec myself, but I'm using xhost like a sledgehammer on my Linux, since there it's needed even when using kdesu or gksudo. xhost + gksudo -u chuser "$*" xhost - Don't try this at home! On my machine it's ok to use xhost that way. I don't want to boot FreeBSD now. Are you sure that xhost isn't needed for kdesu on FreeBSD, if you run something as another user, excepted root?home | help
