"su"-ing in an x-term will get you to exactly the kind of the situation
that you start wanting to allow access to X... I suppose there must be
some good way to allow it, but until someone comes with anything better,
how about slogin? You will probably need slogin anyway, and you can always
restrict the logins from "outside" to localhost (in host.allow/deny) if
you do not need to connect from outside. Running ssh-daemon is simple, and
as a bonus you get the DISPLAY set up for you authomatically.
I have ssh-demon running everywhere, and use "su" very seldomly - it is
very convenient, although an overkill for a single machine.
