This is normal, by default an X server does not allow anybody but the user 
running it to connect. You'll have to tell it to make an exception.

There are a few ways to do this. All the ones I know of involve "xhost", 
"xauth", or "ssh".

Since you mention "sudo", it would probably be easiest for you to execute the 
following:

"xhost +local:"

This allows any non-network local connection to be allowed. Note that this is 
fairly heavy-handed and might constitute a security risk.

Read the man pages of those commands for further information.

Anyone have better ideas?
