Hello, On trying to run xcdroast (or any program that requires X display) after su'ing in as root, I get the following error:
------- [root @gandalf karthik]$ xcdroast Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 ------- On executing xhost +127.0.0.1, and trying the same, I am able to run the application without any problems. Why does this happen? Is'nt localhost allowed to connect to the Xserver by default (am I being protected from something bad here?) ? What can I do to resolve this so that I don't need to xhost prior to executing an X-application?
