Oops, still learning to read.  I have a related problem, but it's with
Gnome.  Here's the sequence:
1) login as a regular use via gdm
2) open a terminal and su
3) gtop &
Leads to this error on the terminal:
GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

Over time, I accumulate these messages too:
glibtop: glibtop_get_proc_state (): Client requested field mask 0000f, but only 
have 0000c.
glibtop: glibtop_get_proc_mem (): Client requested field mask 0003f, but only 
have 00032.

By the way, I tried xhost +.  It didn't affect the preceding problems.
