I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here, but if I have a window
open where I am root I can not open windows unless I do one of two
things:
1) do 'xhost +localhost' (not in the root window, but in another
window)
2) If I am using XAUTH style authorization I can do
'XAUTH=/patch/to/user/.Xauthority <program to run>' and that will
work (because of course root can access the authority file).
Does this answer the question?
