ssh root@localhost -X

or enable tcp connections on your X server and export the display:

cd /etc
grep -nri "nolisten tcp" *
(delete all references to this option)
restart your X server and/or your display manager
telnet localhost 6000 to be sure that it's accepting connections
xhost +localhost
su
(run your app)

the SSH option is the better way to go..
