Some distros make it so that the super user cannot access the Xserver. In such a case, trying to start up any application in X as root will give you this error:
Xlib: connection to "localhost:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server There are a number of ways to get around this. Try exporting XAUTHORITY=</home/<usr account>/.Xauthority as root before executing xhost, for example.
