This is a fix for showing graphics through BOINC Manager when BOINC is installed to its own user account (such as when installed from the Fedora repositories). It has been confirmed to work in Fedora 7, although it will probably also work on other Linux distros out there. With thanks to Eric Myers for providing it.
