I think the problem probably occurs when your non-root
user tries to access files "owned" by your root user.
This is probably the "source.jam" file, which contains
information on what version of each file is contained
in a directory. Every time you add, get, check in, or
check out, the source.jam file is accessed. If the gui
does not find a source.jam in a directory it creates
one. 

My guess is that you are performing some action on a
directory as root that is creating a source.jam file.
Then you log in as a user and that user cannont access
the source.jam file because it is owned by root.

I haven't tried to do this with Linux and x-windows,
but I have run the SJ GUI using terminal services and
Windows and it runs fine. What are the specs of the
remote server you are trying to run the SJ GUI on? I
could be that it does not have enough RAM. Java Swing
(which the GUI is built on) requires 128 MB.

Looks like you really have got your problems
straightened outh, though.
