X display problems when running things from su
Its slightly minor, since I can bypass it with kdesu, but its so inconvenient at times, so finally I feel motivated to post it here.
I have Slackware 9.1, when say I am a normal user, need to su into root and run say, some admin tools that uses a GUI, I get errors complaining about not being able to connect to the server.
Furthermore, I am not sure if its related, how do I get X to accept all local connections across displays and tty's without having to run xhost with the local arguments and whatnot, and that itself is annoying because it can't be included in a startup script, because if I run it on the commandline, it complains, again.
