My apologies. The current auto CC: is something I did not have before,
and so I'm not used to removing that line. I was aware I had forgotten
to do that as soon as I had sent the message to you.

Seems to have brought some progress. Now, when I su - root and run:

      echo $DISPLAY
      :0.0

But apparently, all that does is to say that I've successfully
assigned the value ":0.0" to DISPLAY, but it does not seem to have
been exported. 

That is I run an application that calls for display :0.0 and it still
fails:  

  Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
  Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server
