One way to get around this is the xhost + command, but some
consider this unsafe because it disables access control in the X
server. Instead you can use sux.

Using "xhost +local:" is fairly safe, especially for a personal
computer.

Before SuSE 10 (or was it before 9.3?) you had to use sux or adjust
the X server access control. Now you can just use su.

One thing to add to all these alternatives and restrictions is that a
process whose effective UID is not equal to that of a logged in KDE
user will not be able to access the KDE DCOP server regardless of
whether it's root or not or how it became root.
