I'm not sure whether this is a better solution or not. Here's what I've done. When I su to root and run xemacs, I was getting a similar error. To overcome it without modifying my security level, I added the following to root's .bashrc (replacing username with my normal user account): alias xemacs="XAUTHORITY=~[username]/.Xauthority xemacs" Now I can su to root and run xemacs using the access granted to the normal user.
