try with just "su" (not "su -" which doesn't inherit your current env. -
especially your DISPLAY)

Ok, other people have given better advice than me (try "su -m" or
kdesu).
Also try setting your DISPLAY env. variable, like for instance in :
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
What's strange is that on my freshly installed sarge system root can
open X apps without fuss (and I don't remember having done anything
special wrt this behaviour). Is your system an upgrade from woody ?
