emerald theme manger need to be run as root ?


When I run Emerald Themer as root, it works. When I don't, however, any theme I double-click on fails to work. Nothing happens.

Any help?

Thank you

I have Mandriva 2008.0, running Compiz-Fusion

Did you install it as root? If so try installing it as user and then see if it will work for user.

If I'm not wrong, you don't have other choice but to install the software as root.
Try executing from a terminal:
Code:
emerald --replace
See what does that command return so that we can have more information about your problem.

See ya!
