For some reason, I recall copying some magic-cookie or maybe ICEAuthority from one box to the other. I wish I could find my notes. I'll google a bit more. If you think of anything else, let me know :)
Try doing:
xhost + local: or xhost +
but I doubt that will solve the problem. The only thing that usually is needed is for the remote machine to have a ~/.Xauthority file, which is created when you run X or use ssh -X. No other ideas here.
Well, ssh creates the ~/.Xauthority file, you could try setting the XAUTHORITY variable after su-ing to root. So: XAUTHORITY=~USER/.Xauthority export XAUTHORITY and then start your X apps. mvg, Guus
