I wonder if this might work. Set up evolution only for user1. When you are logged on as user2, start an xterm and su to user1 and from that start evolution as user1. This will take some xauth magic to get evolution running as user1 to display in X running as user2. I don't understand xauth properly, but I just tried this. I know it's not really the proper way, but ... As user1, su to root, # cp /home/user1/.Xauthority /home/user2/.Xauthority # chown user2.users /home/user2/.Xauthority ( make sure the permissions of .Xauthority are correct. ) logout, login as user2 and start up X using $ startx open an xterm and do $ su - user1 password $ export DISPLAY=:0.0 $ evolution & I just use startx - I'm a simple minded Slackware user. I don't know what gdmflexiserver will do, but if it doesn't overwrite .Xauthority then the above might work. Mike mike DOT denhoff AT nrc DOT ca
