I have a system set up that I'm trying to use headless (without a local keyboard, monitor, mouse). Most things work fine, except, it seems, for the X-window applications that require root authorization. The application that I'm particularly interested in is "Software Manager". When I run it remotely, it asks for the root password and then seems to die a silent death. When I run it locally, everything is fine. I'm using eXceed as my X-window server.
