The proper procedure is:

Aha - that's sorted it for me, at least. Will I have to do this each time I log in / reboot? If so, can I put these commands into an automatically run file somewhere?
Please do not use xhost! It is completely insecure and defeats the purpose of using sux or kdesu
Uummmm...oops. I was having a similar problem and did the xhost thing Ken said. But now that you have a better and more secure way to get sux to work correctly, how do I *undo* the xhost thing above?
xhost -localhost, or xhost -
man xhost -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes<
Thanks Patrick. I also want to apologize to Ken, I didn't mean exactly to say 'your' help with the sux thing was no good, on the contrary, it at least got quite a few of us back up to speed, so thanks for your suggestion too, and thanks to Anders also for the 'security' heads up stuff.
