Gerd, please just drop this silly thing. The software listen must
be run in a root xterm window now. It is just too easy to get one of
these! You just type su - and when it asks for password use your root
password. Now the window will be your eye on the silly packet world for as
long as your system stays up. No hazard of any sort.
