I am using win4lin to run mswindows applications (in fact, mswindows itself) from within linux. You can run the mswindows session in a window in X, or you can start a new X session and run the mswindows session full screen within it. There is a script called "win" that does the former, and a script called "fwin" that does the latter. However, in order for "fwin" to work, you have to drop down to a console and run it. I would like to have an icon that will run "fwin" from within X, transporting the user to the new X session. "fwin" uses xinit to initiate the new session and that's what is giving me the following error: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. xinit: unexpected signal 2 > > --- "David B.
