Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Your nonroot user can not access root's display. You'll see the same issue launching other gtk apps like system-config-firewall. Closing NOTABUG |
