I have always used plain old su instead of sux.
Su is fine for things running in a terminal. For a graphical program, if you su then try to launch an x program it will complain something about xhost access denied. 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.
