I am posting this because you said you might look up what has happened
here in a couple of weeks; and, for anybody else who has helped or has
been following the posts.
I did the following:
]$ su user1
Password: ********
]$ evo
- evo is in user1 .bashrc as alias evo='export DISPLAY=:0.0; evolution
&'
I get plenty of warning messages that I will have to check out; and have
found some additonal flags or commands or issues that I will follow up
to see if I can clean things up.

I would like to launch evolution in user2 with sudo rather than su,
bypassing Password without using expect if its possible.
