If you're suing to root, just do:
export XAUTHORITY=<home of the user you were>/.Xauthority
If you're suing to someone else:
As the user you're suing from:
xauth list
As the user you're suing to:
xauth add <paste here the <yourmachine>/unix:0 line>
Recommended lectures:
(3x)Xsecurity
(1x)xauth
(1x)xhost
