As the user you are logged in as type "xhost + localhost" and that will allow the localhost to connect to the X Server. In KDE you can also just start the program using the "Run Command", which also lets you start the app as another user. Just start the "Run Command" through the Menu or use <Alt><F2> and click on options to set the username/password to use.
