hi, i cant seem to run any application that requires the desktop as root.

Code:

tidiman07@Box2:~$ sudo kate
.......
Loading kconfig Config module ...
Creating backend ...
Loading socket FrontEnd module ...
Starting SCIM as daemon ...
GTK Panel of SCIM 1.4.4

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


(scim-panel-gtk:17741): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

i get this error whenever tryin to open anything with sudo.
the open application freezes.
