or, if using sudo, do the following:

append to /root/.bashrc:
----snip
[[ -n "$SUDO_USER" ]] && [[ -n "$DISPLAY" ]] && export XAUTHORITY=/home/$SUDO_USER/.Xauthority
----snip

to keep the DISPLAY environment variable set, /etc/sudoers should have
some line like this which tells it to not clean environment (in this
case for users in the wheel group, for which I allow passwordless
sudo'ing, too:
----snip
Defaults:%wheel !env_reset
----snip
