This is actually because you're using *dm to start up X, rather than |
7 |
startx. I think I need to add something to the *dm scripts to rm |
8 |
-f /etc/startx when they start-up. Anyway, you can add "rm |
9 |
-f /etc/startx" pretty much anywhere on your system to remove this |
10 |
error. You can even rm it in your livecd-stage2 spec file. |

Check out root's .bashrc and you'll see where this is coming from. |

By default, sudo clears the environment. You can change this in the |
21 |
sudo configuration, though I also recommend adding a "xhost +localhost" |
22 |
somewhere in your *user's* start-up scripts, after X has started, so |
23 |
something like .xsessionrc... |
