some additional info:
su (or su -) to root and run xauth merge ~user/.Xauthority (where
user is the name of the user that is running X server), yuou can use
xauth to give other user access to X server as well (they have to have
read access to .Xauthority)
add user to sudoers and run sudo programThatRequiresRoot
DO NOT DO THIS: xhost + (everybody can use the X server), man xhost
for more info, but really, don't use this unless you really want it that
way (security)
