Comment 22 for bug 1652282

@Dave Stroud,

If you spend a few minutes to create/install/modify some file(s), for example 'gks' according to my previous comment, you need not type 'xhost si:localuser:root' every time you boot up.

1. Some of us think that this is an unnecessary complication or worse,

2. Some of us think that it is an important step to increase the security,

to prevent GUI programs to run with elevated permissions. The developers of Wayland belong to the second group ;-)

-o-

I think that the main linux distros will gradually adjust to the opinion of their users ...
