Run a wine program as another user

This is not specific to wine, but it feels right to put it here.

Allow access to the X server

As user1:

xhost +local:

Then:

$ su - user2
Password:
$ export DISPLAY=:0

from: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108784/running-gui-application-as-another-non-root-user

Allow access to the Pulseaudio server

As user1:

pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1

https://ithero.eu/documentation/sound/pulseaudio/#13-module-native-protocol-unixtcp

As user2:

echo "default-server = 127.0.0.1" > ~/.pulse/client.conf
