I see from your original post that you're using KDE so you could try a

Use <ALT + F2> to open the run dialog.
Enter xpdf or whatever in the "Command area.
Click on "Options", select "Run as a different user and fill in the
username and password for root.

Also the other method (extract a $DISPLAY from ~/.Xauthority and
