Re: [Plug] permissions, etc.

Open a terminal:
[user@host dir]$ xhost +localhost && su - new_user && exit
Password:
[new_user@host dir]$ export DISPLAY=:0.0 && (nohup emacs&) && exit
you could do all this in a shell script and create an icon or menu entry
in kde for it...
or you could use a suid binary for the same purposes...
