Without DISPLAY being set, these tests do run and report 'ok', although they do not do anything (window does not appear). (Of course, this is the case if I do 'su -' in my Konsole instead of 'su'.) With DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY both being set properly, a window appears during the tests and they both report 'ok'. (This is all for 6.4.1-3_1 with all OPTIONS to default on 7.0.) If I did not make this clear earlier, in contrast to my very first post, I now consider this behavior ok, since it does not really make sense to have DISPLAY set to something that is not accessible. (Not that it really makes sense to have the build fail if access to the display is being denied, but have it succeed, if no X is present at all...) Jan Henrik
