You are right that the old su would copy over DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY
environment variables, even when you tell it to give you a new
clean environment.
probably this modification must be written in the changelog as an
important change.
$ firefox &
Error: GDK_BACKEND does not match available displays
The error message is a bit misleading. Please just try running this
instead:
DISPLAY=:0 firefox &
thanks, this work :-)
strange, one of the first things that I have done was:
export DISPLAY=:0
probably I have mistake writing something :-(
... looking the history I found that I don't have write "export" :-(
Please feel free to submit a merge request with a util-linux.NEWS entry

I'm not very good in English.
I think you can close this bug.
thanks for your help
