Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to remove the crossover popup window 'warning running application as root', since it's popping each time I launch mozilla.

I know that running as root could be dangerous, but I'm the only user on this machine and I know what i'm doing, so that would be cool to remove it... I've searched the configuration files, but found nothing about it... 

It did NOT happen with the previous version of the plugin (2.0.2 I think)

Thanks,

Didier

You can do this 2 ways,

1) set the environment variable CX_ALLOW_ROOT to something. this will suppress the warning.

2) edit ~/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine and find where we check for that environment variable and remove the warning.

i would highly suggest #1
