After I exit from X windows, I no longer have the ability to su (to 
root, at least).  It doesn't even ask for my password - it just 
immediately says "bad su from myacct to root".

If I then "exit", and immediately log back in as myacct, I am able to su 
to root no problem.

I am running 5.3-STABLE, and the latest X (or very, very near it).  It 
happens with at least two distinct WMs (Window Maker and Fluxbox).

Any idea? Or any further information I can provide?

Thanks,

Bob Vesterman.
