Yes, it works fine using "/usr/local/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu -u username -c xterm" where username can be any valid user, including root. Incidentally another workaround for running X applications as any other user, including root, without needing xhost or copying .Xauthority is to configure ssh to support X11 forwarding in ~/.ssh/config and run "ssh username@localhost". -- Mike Clarke
