I forgot: One also has to execute "cp $XAUTHORITY /data/suse$XAUTHORITY".

Thanks or all the help. mount --bind /tmp /data/suse/tmp solves the problem. There was some confusion about my motives in doing this. I am not trying to access X on a server machine from a client machine but run three distributions with one X and one kernel at the same time using chroot and mount --bind. I want to be able to use Yast, emerge and apt-get on the same machine without rebooting. I have already installed a program into /data/suse with Yast under Gentoo and then run it. Later I will be able to install a package using emerge under Gentoo if the packages are available and otherwise apt-get under Debian. I have chosen 32-debian as there are the most packages. If I need to quickly install and make something run I can still use SuSE. I will later post a report if it works.
Happy Hacking, Robert Himmelmann
