How to run a command in Xterminal 'as root'????
Thank you!

I connect to a WEP network (note that this is a DMZ network, the WEP protection isn't for intrusion protection, it's just to avoid casual connects by passers-by. The WEP key is even public.)

After 1.1 I sometimes suddenly see that the little green symbol indicating that I'm online (gtalk etc.) goes red, with an exclamation mark or something. An xterm will show that DNS doesn't work (can't resolve hostnames). If I disconnect from the network and try to reconnect it won't work, and the icon indicating that it's trying will either flash forever or eventually pop up with a 'could not connect' message.

I can successfully resolve this every time by running the following script (as root, due to the ifconfig):

Code:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig wlan0 down
killall osso-connectivity-ui-conndlgs
killall wlancond
It never happened in the past (pre-1.1, but I don't know for certain if it's related).
