Not super worried about the x server not wanting to create my window when i'm running as root, but thanks for the advice and will try it once i get whatever other error is going on fixed.

I added in additional error handling code to try and locate what was going on and found for certain that when using the void[] read(char[] filename) and void write(char[] filename, void*) functions that they don't do anything when not running my program from within the console or from within eclipse.

has anyone else had an error like this or should i be using different functions for read/write from the std.file module?
