Looks like you might have misread Michael's post the same way I did,
initially: "xhost +" would allow anyone to use the current user's X11
server.

As far as security goes that is a big no no. It allows anyone to

Oops, that's what I get for posting too quickly. Apologies: I was
thinking of "xhost +" without the username qualifier.
The other approaches still might be worth considering.

I loaded vim as vin-gtk so that may be the issue. I always run it
as vim though.
Yes I do run debian sarge.

I almost never use gvim so no. I was logged into a consule under
X and used su to get root privledges. When I tested out the
script it gave the error. I don't understand it either.

I think some distributions build the vim executable in such a way that the
GTK interface is always used by default (i.e. without the -g option and
without running 'gvim'). When Rustry tries to edit files as root, the
GTK interface fails to connect to the X server so it falls back to the

wierd. i dunno. one has nothing to do with the other.
are you sure running vi is giving xlib errors? are you using gvim?
i can't think of any correlation that could possibly explain this...

putting this in .vimrc does the trick:
" When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor position.
" Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an event
" handler (happens when dropping a file on gvim).

hi jan,
the viminfo file just stores information. it doesn't actually do
anything by itself. in other words, the viminfo file differs from the
.vimrc file in that:
viminfo: stores state data for vim
.vimrc: a list of vim commands to run at the start of a vim session
so how does the cursor get
Hi Peter:
Look in ~/.viminfo
There should be a line like:
# File marks:
'0 37 0 ~/textfile3.txt
'1 35 0 ~/textfile.txt
I think that is the place that you are talking about.
:)
HTHO,

hi lugod,
i've seen vim on a mandrake system which, when opening a file a second
time, will place the cursor at its last position when the file was
initially opened.
anyone know how to get vim to do this?
i've checked the ~/.vimrc and can find nothing that does this. i also
checked bash aliases
