I'm not exactly sure when, but starting a month or so ago, vim has been |
| 2 |
acting weird when |
| 3 |
I run it as root. For one thing, there are messages |
| 4 |
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server |
| 5 |
on the console. I presume this is an X authority thing, but I'm not sure |
| 6 |
why it became an |
| 7 |
issue when it wasn't before, and I've completely forgotten what to do about |
| 8 |
it. I'm generally |
| 9 |
running a gnome-terminal 2.26.3.1 under KDE on plain Gento. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
It's weird, I know, but I've been doing this for ages. Moreover, in spite of |
| 12 |
weirdness, the editing session works. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Except that there are messages |
| 15 |
Xlib: No protocol specified |
| 16 |
overlaid on the document scattered more or less randomly. They can be |
| 17 |
cleaned off by |
| 18 |
control-L. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This is barely workable, and leaves me with a WTF sort of feeling. |
| 21 |
Fortunately, I don't do a whole lot of editing as root, but there's always |
| 22 |
something... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Any clues out there? |
