A better way to allow it (when you switch from normal to root user) : test@localhost:~$ su - root@localhost:~# xauth merge ~test/.Xauthority root@localhost:~# export DISPLAY=:0.0 root@localhost:~# xterm # or whatever Xwindow program you want to run I can remember there was some 'su' feature doing it automagically somewhere (with RedHat, Mandrake or another one)...
