Re: [kde] Konsole unable to start xapps as root in Archlinux

Thanks for the info! That's a good solution. It seems that
kdesu copies some information from your (ordinary user's)
.Xauthority to a temporary file and sets root's XAUTHORITY
environmental variable to point to the temp. file.

I wish the "su" command had such an option. I normally use
Konsole's

There is another utility called "sux" which does exactly that :)

Cheers,
Kevin
