[wplug] XWindows Startup Applications

[John Harrold]

Sometime in June Wise, Jeremey assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| 2)I have to run seveal applcation functions as root and so find that I
| am constantly running this set of steps to setup a "root" shell console.
| **********
| wisej at wizej:~>
| wisej at wizej:~> xhost +localhost
| localhost being added to access control list
| wisej at wizej:~> su -
| Password:
| wizej:~ # DISPLAY=:0.0
| wizej:~ # export DISPLAY
| wizej:~ #
| *********
| This is on a typical SuSE 9.0 install. I have gotten around some of this
| in adding a ~/.bashrc for each user. What again is the "proper" way to
| do this?

There are probably many ways to do this, one method is instead of using 'su
-' just use 'ssh -X root at localhost'. you can alias this to:

alias mysu='ssh -X root at localhost'

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
