Guess I was asking if for example, you rebooted your machine and it sat at
the prompt or login, if you logged in as normal user and started x then
tried? Also, when you "su" try it with a hyphen "su -", like "su - user".
Maybe it needs the whole set of properties.
Prolly has nothing to do with your problem and not sure what you need to do
to fix it. Sounds like a permissions thing, set suid or something.
