:D Hello,
Use a script to change permissions and launch as root. I have it somewhere, and included it in my PupXscreensaver pet years ago. Let me look for it.
Here you go:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd /
chmod 777 root
su nobody -c xscreensaver-demo
#exit
cd /
chmod 555 root[code]

#EDIT:
 The above does not work in recent Puppies, but this works fine for me:
 In a terminal:

 su spot
 xscreensaver-demo

 Configure and go!
:-)
