Description:   Opened: 2006-12-19 14:45 0000
After "emerge wifi-radar" I followed the emerge output instructions to add
/usr/sbin/wifi-radar to my /etc/sudoers file.  I am able to run wifi-radar as
root with no problems.  When I try to run /usr/bin/wifi-radar.sh as a user I
get "GtkWarning: could not open display"  Is there another configuration
parameters I must change to allow users to run wifi-radar.sh?

EDit the /etc/sudoers file, and comment this line :
# Defaults      env_reset

After that add this line :
Defaults      env_keep=DISPLAY

I'm not a specialist of sudo, so i'm sure that comment the line "Defaults     
env_reset" is absolutely necessary, but it's work for me.

Added some more einfos in latest package version to propose the other changes
stated here to /etc/sudoers...
