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... |
