I've set mine up to run the whole KDE desktop within exceed. I have a short script
that sets my display variable to my eXceed server and then does a startkde command.
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0
startkde
I'm running telnet to do the startup (internal LAN) because I had trouble with the rsh
and rexec methods.
Running rpmdrake from a su'ed command line does indeed work. That a workable
solution, since I don't need to do it very often. Thanks.

sorry i'm afraid i can't help you with your problem, but i would like to
know how you got exceed to work. I've tried a number of times, but the best
i got was an x teminal window, no full desktop, what settings in exceed did
you use, any changes to Xfree86 config files ?
Actually, just had a thought, have you tried using the software manager in
webmin ?? or how about running the software manager from a command line
which you are su'ed in ??
cheers

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.
