how to run X apps as root?



Hi,

sometimes I need to run some X apps as root (i.e. ethereal, lprngtool) but 
Xlib complains that the server refuses the connection.
how can I make the Xserver accept programs as root when I'm working as 
normal user?

2nd Problem: I tried today to run a second instance of startx with -- :1 to 
run it as root. today it didn't work anymore... I'm using unstable.

Cheers
Arne
