howto make root emacs open in X



I'm running a recently installed lenny with default xfce desktop.

While working in the X session I often ssh to root@localhost for a
root shell and have one running as I work.  I'd like to be able to
open emacs from that root shell and have the emacs instance open in
the X session instead of a inside the root shell in console mode as it
currently does.

I've had this setup in the past ... possibly not on a debian OS so I
know it can work with some minor setup.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this to happen?
