I really hope this is a simple question that I'm just missing the answer somewhere. I'm running Debian Woody on an AMD K6-2 350 box. Everything works fine for the most part. It's just that when I try to run a xclient as root from a term in an another user account I get this error:
# xcdroast
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
Now I've just ignored this issue because it's not task critical. However, I now wish to fix this. So I humbly ask for suggestions.
