Yes, that's the one. The Xorg config file is where it should be, it's
rather familiar to me after messing about with it in Kubuntu ;-) It's
just the command to fire up Mousepad (Xfce's default text editor) as
su from the console. I had assumed it would be simply 'su Mousepad'.
In Kubuntu I type in 'su Kate' and it fires up Kate as a 'su' log in.
This does not work in Xfce :-( I don't know where I'm going wrong...
