Also would you mind telling me how to unininstall a application? I install like this:

pacman -S  <application name>

but when I type:

pacman -R <application name>

It says it removed the application but I can still execute it.. I think that this only removes package but not the actually application itself.

Re: Errors starting beryl or any graphical application ( via terminal )

they need to be made X Aware[?]
issue the command

xhost localhost

on the terminal and it should work.

Re: Errors starting beryl or any graphical application ( via terminal )

What possible reason would you have for running beryl or any other X application (maybe a text editor) in root?

Re: Errors starting beryl or any graphical application ( via terminal )

I just installed the Archlinux at the time of post and was trying to setup the beryl via cows@myhost. but i had to su - to do it first since i didnt have rights to use pacman.

[cows@myhost root]$ beryl

Currently we cannot guarantee that Beryl will work correctly with multiple X screens.
Using the --no-context-share command line option can help.

Re: Errors starting beryl or any graphical application ( via terminal )

This problem can be solved by configuring XOrg for Composite.

Follow this guide:

Good luck
