John, you say that "su is already OK", do I am not sure what your problem is, but when i change to "root", i usually do "sux -" which using expatriate's "echo $PATH" puts some 16 directories in my path, versus only 5 when I do "su". YMMV.
Most problems with sux or (gnome|kde)su are because of $HOME/.Xauthority, either the user's or root's. Deleting them and logging in again usually solves the problem.
