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? |
