Thank you both,
Changing the configuration for the root session in Konsole from su - to su
solved my problem.
I've never quite really understood how the DISPLAY works. If I launch an X
application on the computer Z with an IP of A and I want the application to
be displayed on computer Y with an IP of B, how should I write the DISPLAY
variable ? Normally with ssh -X it works automagically, but sometimes not.
