| Bingo! Thanks Kevin, that works like magic.

Another method is, as root

# xauth merge ~username/.Xauthority
# DISPLAY=:0
# export DISPLAY

where "username" is the name of the ordinary user
that you were, before "su"-ing.

On a multi-user host, xhost allows other users to use
your screen, so xauth method is a bit better.

Thanks for that other option Ryo. Do those commands provide a permanent
change, that hold up after a logout/login, or reboot?

I ran the xhost command as. xhost +local:root, but when I logged out, and back
in, I had to run the command again. I resolved that by running the command
in .kde's autostart. Was the "%" sign necessary at the start of the line?

Nigel.
