I use emacs under X to administer my Debian systems. I don't run it as root though. I use emacs TRAMP to use sudo to edit files as root on the local machine. On remote machines I do the same but in an ssh session in xterm (I don't use mouse or menu bars in emacs in X anyway). Looking at bug 633652, have you tried running X programs as root with sux or gksu instead of su? http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/sux http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gksu --=20 Kenyon Ralph --ExXT7PjY8AI4Hyfa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJOUvnOAAoJEJj/PvnJuRLVa9kP/jlTuXCAHQ0pw4UVj4NOXOHT nXeTUy33jZC8JrLjtvbpk6sjHMxc21dFaJuASCPNYmL5AQ9ogB0fvKvlXJt5PnQx gPb05whHb+DRzvZP9mfb8EzXA2/+rwUipQjO2eLwu4vszg22/erewcNvJii8jfqg XyNaOey4eRyF8D4UsOJnLgyTOr/Y7KjzzGnV0jB7/ysDbT152BrWyA1EM939rtyG Wt0WsOhflRhdcHY73mNt55VAhNVFIQmCNOsSI7hAJ6dgEqLmjPk9+mO5srY3Ht2/ v1C02R2bdNWG4upJZ2Bl1X1Fz7qBUQxQQVOI6OA+OFZ03VaRp7W/fEYxfMb0Wlmr JFEHwmqlUsjt85b1HRgWt2WMy4vXD43fd6gWsHKdKd5+dJV76K4VjjX1lTrbKmT5 N7+hSmDtecAGKfjMvXwf+ocFzMWlzUNDKP00CyXxr7ranNjug+BimtQPkkhZWH2g +H4xjJcmE72951IALLBXruzhIloVynCfCCgdWIudIYNc1nvBDloXywlA8PbRXQmW x8juio7JvJpay+qiJQVRlw0cx3e4Y89/+A7rtJQAZ6z+aBbEmOg7GYbXcYIVIVfo bytDDikje91WENl/cLWJVe+PoxCeX0j2NY9lk49uZG78C8oFrWyhLzbE+nAUPHcx C8XiimO+Zk/k6Zn5H7xj =MpWR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ExXT7PjY8AI4Hyfa--
