the quick and dirty is to invoke "xhost +localhost". however, that
usually expires after a time. a more elegant solution is to mess
around with the import and export files in ~/.xauth. to let anyone's
account work when you su, do:
echo '*' > ~/.xauth/export
to just add specific users, do:
echo 'beavis
butthead' > ~/.xauth/export
see 'man pam_xauth' for more details and examples.
