Hello,
Earlier I posted this message:

The message was forwarded to the fink beginners user group. But the
issue does not seem to be a fink issue: If i fire up XDarwin I will
not receive this error. Thus this error is exclusive to running apps as
root on X11, irrespective of the other Xservers.
For instance using Orobor: I can do this: su root xxxxxxx xnmap <- and
this is fine,
but if I want to do this using X11.app I get the above error. Also
running say gimp not as root does not cause the above error on x11 but
as root it does...
What can you guys recommend?
Thanks,
mutunus
