RE: Can't launch X-windows from domain power
I would like to keep the permissions for the nonadministrator restricted. However, I used "find... | xargs chmod ..." to mirror the "group" permissions to "other". After that, startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh work if I remove /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/XWin.log, which were left behind from running X-windows from the administrator account. Note that startxwin.{sh,bat} did not work on the first try. It took a few repeated tries. Possibly because files were created in the 1st few tries. Maybe the presence of those hypothesized files placated some error-trapping code. Thanks for the suggestions.
