Sorry, I'm sure this problem has been addressed already...

When I start X as a normal user, open up an xterm, su to root, and try to 
start an X application, I get the following error:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server

Is this a consequence of security?  Is there some cheap way around it?  I'm 
willing to forgo some security on my home desktop to do run things like 
qtcups.  Thanks!
