I sometimes get this error to and have found a work-around. may be it
will work for you to. As root go to the home dir of the user running the
Desktop. The following works for me:

s050436: /home/jarno # cp .Xauthority ~/.Xauthority
(The file has a name like this, typing .Xauth and auto-completion should
give it, currently i'm working under windows and can't check it)
now root should get access to the display
