I'm also using konsole in KDE4, and after becoming root (via su or su -) I have no Problems starting X applications. I'm no expert at X authorization stuff. But I know that in the past I also had trouble when becoming root. Why it works for me and not for you - I don't know. Workarounds you might try: - Emerge sux, and use sux instead of su. Worked for me in the past. - ssh -Y root@localhost Wonko
