If you're the paranoid type, or if the Debian system is exposed to the
public Internet, then make sure you only permit root logins when using
pubkey authentication, not password.  Then set up an RSA pubkey for your
direct root login.

To use the display without ssh root login. ssh as normal user to host. Then

echo $DISPLAY

su -



xauth add $(xauth -f ~<your user name>/.Xauthority list | tail -1)

xhost

export DISPLAY=localhost:10 (or whatever your logged in user DISPLAY is set to)
