The xauth command seems cut off - it should be adding the magic cookie for the
display from the xauth of the user logged into the display. Also, hardcoding
:11.0 seems weird - is that a special server or is the user assuming he'll
always be the second ssh tunnel opened or second Sun Ray server started?
Alternatively, if that's an actual local display, not an ssh tunnnel, then
before su'ing he could run
xhost +si:localuser:oracle
(replace "oracle" with the actual username being su'ed to for the "oracle user")
