Using Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Ximian GNOME 1.4 I altered my Mandrake Security settings the other day, and now gnome-terminal will not start if I am logged on as an ordinary user. I can open an ordinary xterm, su as root, and then start gnome-terminal with no problem. gnome-terminal was working fine before I altered my security settings (changed to level 3). This is the error message: $ gnome-terminal --use-factory --start-factory-server Error: unable to fork: Interrupted system call Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). $ gnome-terminal Error: unable to fork: Interrupted system call Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Most other apps are working as before except kppp (the only KDE app I use), which now crashes if I start it as an ordinary user, but again can be started as root from an xterm without problem. This looks to me like an issue with how access to X display is set up. Can anyone advise me on what I need to look at to fix this problem? -- ============================================================================== D. D.
