Several are described in this excellent post on the <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Running_X_apps_as_root">Arch Linux Wiki</a>.</p> <p>However, I needed a different solution as I frequently “su” to different accounts in the terminal to perform different tasks – I normally don’t just start one application and then exit back to the original user.</p>
