It might work if the X app can find and read the .Xauthority file as root (you've set up sudo to retain $HOME, and $HOME is local), but if root can't find .Xauthority (due to environment variable sanitization done by updated sudo) or if root can't read the .Xauthority file ($HOME over NFS), X programs fail. -- Rob
