Hey all. Got an question that never occurred to me before, how can you
display a message in another users Xsession.

I'm root and I want to display a message to the user running in :0.

I figured as root: 
$> export DISPLAY=localhost:0 ; zenity --text "Blah blah Blah";

would do it, but it can't open the display.

Anyone have an idea?

Cheers,
lance
