remort it as a bug for now to see if anyone has any ideas on why this
happens.  gdk-pixbuf will not build due to it cannot open up the display.

This is solved one way by running lin gdk-pixbuf as root with regular "su"
and not "su -".  I guess if su to root with "su -" like the shell says it
will not open the display.  If you su to root with "su" or "su root" it
will work fine but lin coughs up a "WARNING" message that says 

WARNING: You are not running a fully initialized root shell, consider
running a proper root shell with 'su -'

SO if you run it as "su -" gdk-pixbuf will not compile.  Anyone have any
sugesstions on how this can be solved.

Do as the users that ownes the X session "xhost +localhost" then you can do
a "DISPLAY=:0.0 lin -c gdk-pixbuf" that is how i normaly do it. With that
you can use "su -".

I think we can call this resolved?  What do you think niki?  If I do what
you suggested then all is fine but is there a way we can enable this in
the module so that any normal user wont freak when this happens?

Well i have copy'ed the code from OpenOffice-bin, which instructs the user
to run xhost, and then waits until the user hit enter...
So if that is Ok, we can close the bug.
