I too get this error This is what I found on Google (gotta love GOOGLE) http://www.xs4all.nl/~zweije/xauth-7.html copy and past this snip, just replace command with the command you want to run, works great! su - -c "exec env DISPLAY='$DISPLAY' \ XAUTHORITY='${XAUTHORITY-$HOME/.Xauthority}' \ command" Please read the page I listed above, it explains it very well!
