SuSE's version of sux is 100% made by SuSE. I bet several people had the same idea and all called it sux. Some distros have the functionality of sux built into su, eg Redhat and as Yuri says Mandrake. This is a bad idea for security as in effect this transfers security to the target user by granting unlimited access to the X server. I find it much better to have to explicitly request that my X server is handed over to the new user. Compare ssh -x being default.
