Solution 1 :
Don't "su -". If you don't put the '-' on there, su will inherit
the current process' environment and maintain xauth
Solution 2 :
# cp ~user/.Xauthority ~/
Copy your normal user's .Xauthority file to root's home directory.
That gives it the "magic" cookie showing the X server it has
permission to connect.
