And it pops right up. So, what am I doing that is different from what
you are doing?


It sounds like your default X Windows permissions are fairly wide open. Try "xhost" to see the basic settings there.
After that, you have to look for new features allowing this. There *could* also be a new feature in the Xwindows startup sequence to update ~root/.Xauth to include strings that would allow it to connect to the latest person to login to the console... (speculation, I'm not at my Unix box now.)
