Thank you, also to Reco.
I did:
$ alias su="su --whitelist-environment=DISPLAY,XAUTHORITY"
That works. So I will add that to my other aliases in ~/.bashrc and in
/etc/skel/.bashrc.
I tried editing /etc/security/pam_env.conf, as to...@tuxteam.de
suggested earlier, but that caused problems.
DISPLAY DEFAULT=${REMOTEHOST}:0.0 OVERRIDE=${DISPLAY}
XAUTHORITY DEFAULT="/home/charles/.Xauthority" OVERRIDE=${XAUTHORITY}
The DISPLAY line appears to work; that XUTHORITY line does not. It
caused /home/charles/.Xauthority to be owned by root, which in turn
caused problems when SSHing in as charles.
