Ah, could it be the bad home directory? root's HOME is /root!

What does the output of `who' look like for you?
Running one X server, with one xterm (with XTerm*loginShell: on). My
.profile causes login shells to be replaced (i.e. exec without a fork)
with screen -DRR when the login shell isn't

I guess it is not very hard to spot a running
I've found a case when the notify() sub guesses the XAUTHORITY stuff

Also note that gdm uses a pseudorandomly-named temporary file in /tmp

That's sad but there is currently no sane way to do this.
I know. For the record,
