Hello,
I saw that there is an option like this:
--noob-wants-to-run-as-root
If I am starting x as root , my question is :
does running ed2k-gui with this option
is far more dangerous than running x as root ?
Second :
As I understand, if I am running X as root
and try ssh -l qjohn -X localhost
I should have DISPLAY as 10:0
I had removed the DISPLAY=0.0;export
DISPLAY from ~.bashrc and now it is indeed localhost:10:0 after
running this ssh ; but after
ssh -l qjohn -X localhost
and running ed2k_gui
I get:
The program 'ed2k_gui' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 166 error_code 3 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
Any idea?
regards,
john
