Bullseye: setting and using $DISPLAY after su -
I am using Bullseye as updated to yesterday. It is my custom to log in
to XFCE as my regular user, then "su -" in order to run as root,
including GUI programs. In the process, in the past $DISPLAY has been
set.
I now find on bullseye that $DISPLAY is not being set. However, even if
I set DISPLAY manually or run 'su -w DISPLAY -', programs like xclock
complain that they cannot open the display.
How do I allow root to use the display?

Does anybody read signatures any more?
