 |
|
After upgrading to new version of xfree, I can't run gvim when I su under KDE started from kdm. I get:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
I figured out that xhost +localhost solves the problem, but I have to run it every time I log in. Any ideas how to make it automatic?
Regards,
Piotr Kalinowski

You might try to put
in your ~/.xinitrc

Modifying .xinitrc doesn't work as I'd expected (I'm using kdm..). Adding it to .bash_profile however (even without exporting DISPLAY variable) seems to work. Nevertheless, ain't there some X configuration files to control such things?
Update: I've modified /usr/kde/3.2/config/kdm/Xsession to run xhost and obviously it works. Sorry for trouble.

Oh, I just saw my info was incomplete 
the .xinitrc trick only works when you also hack the Session file, i.e. my /etc/X11/Sessions/enlightenment file reads
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
. ~/.xsession
/usr/bin/enlightenment
|
and ~/.xsession is symlinked to ~/.xinitrc
Anyway, I do think this way may be preferable in some cases, since it makes a system wide policy to include non-system-wide preferences, i.e. not all users may want to permit things like xhost +localhost and such.
