SELinux is getting in the way of certain ACPI functions (blanking the 
screen and swusp2).  Anyway, I changed the system-config-securtiylevel 
file directly, but that didn't seem to help.  If I disable SELinux 
globally things work fine, but this probably isn't the best solution.  I 
think that the screen blanking command xset -display :0 dpms force 
standby uses the tcp port.  So I guess I could disable that (anyone know 
its port number?) and I haven't played around too much with the swusp2 
so I don't know what I would need to disable there.

One completely unrelated question that is really easy...is there an 
"open as root" command in gnome because its a little annoying to have my 
email acct under one user and have to log in as root to change locked files.
