When you're sshed in, check the XAUTHORITY variable. It should be something
like /tmp/ssh-efPeK778/cookies . /etc/profile.d/xhost.sh should be something
like this:
# Export Xauthority for users not for root.
if [ ! -z "$DISPLAY" ];then
if [ "`id -u`" -gt 14 ];then
if [ -z "${XAUTHORITY}" ]; then
XAUTHORITY="${HOME}/.Xauthority"
export XAUTHORITY
fi
fi
fi
How to make X work when you ssh in as a normal user and then su, I don't know.
