The same thing happens with mozilla. Apparently you have to
run it as root, and then it works fine--is anyone else seeing
this behavior? The /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox script etc. has
execute perms for any user. What's the tweak that needs to be
done so that a normal user can run it? I didn't see anything
in the package message.
