You are a disbeliever, I see. I tell you it does not work, this is a new, and reported, bug in factory:
minas-morgul:~ # logout cer@minas-morgul:~> xhost +localhost localhost being added to access control list cer@minas-morgul:~> set | grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0.0 cer@minas-morgul:~> su - Password: minas-morgul:~ # set | grep DISPLAY minas-morgul:~ # export DISPLAY=:0.0 minas-morgul:~ # gconf-editor Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyCannot open display: 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
Run 'gconf-editor --help' to see a full list of available command line options. minas-morgul:~ # set | grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0.0 minas-morgul:~ #
