I wonder why that should be necessary in the first place as su seems to
support this .Xauthority linking on its own. On SuSE systems
/usr/X11R6/bin/sux is just a symbolic link to /bin/su, I just tried it
here and it works. The bad thing is that "sudo sux" does not work as in
this case sux is called as root already. Perhaps I should write my own
"suxdo" wrapper? :)

Matthias
