    You mean running nautilus with root privilege?

    Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
    Code:
    gksudo nautilus
    In the world of Linux, who needs Windows and Gates...

    Got most of my golden beans at an auction on eBay (with a couple of free drinks).

    To simply make a file, run this command (if the folder /xserver-xgl already exists):
    Code:
    sudo touch /xserver-xgl/disable
    or you can open nautilus with admin privileges, navigate to the folder and right click to create a new file:
    Code:
    gksudo nautilus /xserver-xgl/
    In either case, the file will be owned by root unless you change it.
    Back to Xorg...

    Retired.
