Don't ask me why, I just wanted to see how well it works, but I am
trying to run IE 6 on Kubuntu Feisty Fawn.
I don't want to run it under my user account, so I created a new user
named "windows" that I hope will sandbox the legendary IE insecurity.
The problem I am having is getting X to share it's display. I su to the
windows user from an XTerm and when I launch it, I get:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
I have set the DISPLAY variable in the windows session to :0.0, but the
only way I can get it to work is to completely turn off access control
using "xhost +" from my user logon.
If I try "xhost +localhost" or xhost +path" (the hostname of the box) it
won't work.
Any suggestions?
