Sometimes XAUTHORITY isn't set.
I thought this would be something python-people are familiar with, after all idle is a Python IDE and running it as a root sometimes is necessary. Anyway, I tried out your suggestion but it didn't work, however googling the line you suggested brought me close to a solution: the following command does the trick: xhost +local:root unfortunately putting it in ~/.bash_profile doesn't make it work automatically after booting, neither does putting it in ~/.xsession, in ~/.xinitrc nor in an autostart-file in ~/.config/openbox/ putting it in .bashrc does work _after_ opening a terminal which isn't very nice. thanks and kind regards, jean -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
