if I login as root and then change rights by su user, then : $ Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified kedit: cannot connect to X server :0
This is a technical support request rather than a bug report. Please use Red Hat mailing lists for such problems, not bugzilla. X works fine as non-root unless you've broken something in your local installation or configuration. Closing as NOTABUG.
I agree abut the local configuration, I was writing abot this because the trouble satred just after upgrading redhat-9 to fedora-1 automatically by annacionda without my interfetrence, to my mind that means redhat-9 is less sensitive to same configuration irregularities what is not a bad feature
