Re: dogtail Accessing a ui running as root?

[Swapna <skrishna redhat com>]

I ran leafpad (GTK+ text editor) with sudo and ran sniff as my personal 
user. Sniff was able to see leafpad. This was on RHEL 6.1

Please make sure that sniff runs as user. It will not run as root. When 
sniff is run as user, it should see some/any applications if 
accessibility is working properly.

I think accessibility or dogtail is not working properly. Can you run 
sniff as user and paste any messages that appear on terminal?
