- Can someone tell me how to change the user-id at the root-level when another
- user logs in while the window manager is running? I want all of the windows
- owned by the previous user to remain while the new windows or tools brought
- up through the root-menu are owned by the new user. I want to be able to do
- this without restarting the window manager.
-
- Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
