I'd have to agree here - my one exception is Mozilla, which requires one run
as root before it'll work for normal users (dunno why - it's annoying, but
it's how it

$ xauth -merge
I had a similar problem a bit ago. I seem to recall that I fixed it
by making root's ~/.Xauthority file a symbolic link to "my" version
of the same file.
Sounds horrid, but it works - as long as you are always su-ing from
