Well, I don't know why some things seem to run su root and others don't but I
think I can answer your second question. I use xauth to allow root to connect
to X. You essentially run xauth as you, look up what your current host key is
and then su root and add this key with xauth to root's list of keys. I am not
sure exactly what the naming convention is for those keys, I always take the
one saying .../unix:1 and it always worked for me.
Hope this helped a little,
nick
