Hi all Don't know if it's been mentioned on this thread yet, but Francois Gouget wrote a script, sux[1], to transfer $DISPLAY and X cookies so X apps work fine when assuming another user's identity. Details were posted here[2] about a year ago and I've appreciated it ever since. Just use it as a drop in replacement for su.
