Re: dogtail Accessing a ui running as root?

[Tomas Pelka <tpelka redhat com>]

Bryan,

try to run gnome-session as root as well if possible. I think that 
simple su - do not connect to right dbus session bus, which ATSPI use.

Or try to use dogtail-run-headless which start new X and gnome-session 
automatically.

Hope it will help
Tom
