Can someone help me.

you shouldn't run x as root, bad idea, try running x as a normal user

Thats correct I have to start x as a user and if i need i will use su
But i wnat to know the solution for this problem.
If supppose for the normal users if this problem come means at that time i should not get struckup so could you able to gave any solutions.

Thanks

I am confused of the problem, why do you need to start x as root?
