On my system I can simply su and all is fine. But if a am logged in from remote via SSH I get the same problem when I su. "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]" should work, but I guess you just need to emerge sux and use it instead of su. However, this works only if your user has X access and then becomes root - when opening a root shell in a text console, it does not work. In this case, your first solution seems to work fine for me.
