If it is always user tim, logged in on the :0 display, who su's to root,
then it should work, I figure. Although I must admit not having actually
tested it. As I said, I think it's pretty lame. Do something else.

First thing is: are you su-ing and then running emacs? When you su you lose your
XAUTHORITY environment variable. The variables points to a file which is used to
authenticate you to the X server. What's more, the permissions on xauthority
files are

Archive entries seem to say something about an .Xauthority file
which my ordinary user account doesn't have. Same thing happens

When I su root and run X (startx) from the su'ed shell,
the owner and modes of the /.Xauthority
are changed to root and rw--- (ls format). (The file group
doesn't change.) Next time you start X as a normal user, no
X applications can be started because .Xauthority is not readable.

On a wild idea, I commented out any references to initializing XAUTHORITY
anywhere in the system. Lo and behold, xauth worked and I now have good

If you logged in as a non-root user and want to give root on
rain up front: the magic-cookie auth scheme is
insecure. That said, it is arguably *less* insecure than using xhost.
In order to use it, you need to have your XAUTHORITY environment
variable set. It should be a full-pathname to an xauth file. This is
generally '~/.Xauthority'. Your X server

I know the xauth program is used but I have followed the instructions in

The simplier way is to use xdm.
Alternately, you can create the cookie by yourself if you want to use startx.
