From: Tzvetomir Stoyanov <tstoyanov@xxxxxxxxxx> In order to make connections to the X server, users must be in the X server allow list. As kernelshark may run with root privileges, the user "root" must be in this list. There is such logic in kshark-su-record, but it works only for Wayland X server. Some Linux distributions use other X servers, so the logic must be executed always. It grants access to user "root" to initiate connections to the X server from the local machine.
