Cannot connect to display as root user

Hi all.

I'm running SuSE Linux 9.2 pro.

I run X with startx as a normal user.

If I try to su to root and run an application in a root 
console under KDE, I cannot connect to the display.

But if I shutdown X, and start it from the console as root 
user with startx, I can then connect to the display.

Can anyone help me please?

I need to connect as root to the display, after starting X 
as a non-root user.

Is there some config file I need to alter to allow 
root@localhost to connect to the display?

Regards

Keith Roberts
