Created attachment 336764 [details] attachment with results of $ strace -o xterm.log xterm Description of problem: cannot start xterm as normal user; as root there is no problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): X.Org 6.8.99.903(242) How reproducible: in a gnome desktop use Alt-F2 to run application, enter xterm and press enter. Nothing happens. Open a gnome-terminal, type xterm [enter], nothing happens. In a gnome-terminal, su to root (su - , enter root password), type xterm, you get a xterm. Selinux is in permissive mode (does not change a thing from targeted mode) Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gnome-terminal 2. su - to root 3. type xterm, then it works; under a normal user it does not work Actual results: xterm is borked for a normal user. I cannot use the citrix client because of this, I need to elevate privileges to be able to run programs that in fedora 9 run perfectly fine with the users privileges. Expected results: I expect xterm to work as a normal user. Additional info: attachment with results of strace -o xterm.log xterm
