it's not a real problem ( although you start pd in a strange environment, without $PWD )It's true. Strangely if I lauch pd with sudo it lost $PWD variable. If I lauch pd as root user (I mean sudo su - and then pd) every thing works fine.
it even works with sudo here, so your environment is very strange
most likely it works fine because you are doing it without sudo. afaiu, yves is running the entire X-session as root, whereas husk tries to run to X-session as user nad only run Pd as root.
i would not recommend anyone to run everything as root if they do not know what they are doing. (e.g. if setting the permissions of a device is already a problem, then running everything as root might create more harm than good). yes, i know that this sounds a bit elitist. i don't know how to put it into better words...
