I used to know how to do this. There's just a command line option that
makes a program (xeyes, for example) use the root window under X, but
I can't remember what it is?
Thanks in advance, Sean

No - that's running as USER root.
I was reffering to having the program's gui on the root display (or root
window).
But thanks for the reply.

1. Problem Running X-Windows (only root runs)
Hello!
I've installed recently the X11 (Release 6.3) that came with the PPC
Linux Release 4. The computer is a PowerMac G3, and was installed with
the Red Hat Distribution.
Running "startx" as root, works fine, but if I try to access using any
of the regular users account, I get this:
Fatal Server Error
Xpmac: Server must be setuid -root
Xconnection to: 0.0 broken (explicit kill or xserver shutdown)
I've been searching the man, but I've found nothing useful. Please,
help!
Thanks in advance
