LMDE (XFCE) : screen blinks once after root password window

[pierremx]

Hello,

I'am novice with LMDE (+XFCE) and it is my first post on the English forum (I use French forums. Sorry for my english..)

I have a trouble after the root password window, the screen blinks once and quickly shows the default background image (default_background.jpg).

Ie : from terminal => gksu gedit => window to enter password => Ok => screen blinks once.

I searched on the forums but didnt find anything. Could you help me ?
Do you have same troubles ?

Regards,
Pierre.

Hello. Thank you, but I don't use Nautilus. Thunar is my file manger

What shows up if you check the history on the terminal? If you are not familiar with the history in terminal just pull it up and type "history". Seeing how you were using the gksu command you may need to use "sudo history" to see the history related to root permissions.

Not sure that error messages are kept there but I would take a look at it.

What does the `/.xsession-errors file have to say? If you are not familiar with "hidden" files they start with a . and are found in your /home/<user name> directory and are made visible by hitting Ctrl + h. Same key strokes will hide them again.

Hi,
History give me the terminal commands history - no error message here.

I think my problem is like this :

I is caused bye the screen brightness fading.
I added disable-grab" line in ~/.gconf/apps/gksu/%gconf.xml
<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<gconf>
.........
<entry name=”disable-grab” mtime=”1302360724″ type=”bool” value=”true”/>
</gconf>
this disable the screen brightness fading and resolve my problem.
