As KDE user use kdesu, as Gnome user use gnomesu for starting X programs as another user (roor in this case).
These tools will take care for telling the application on which display it should run and it will also take acr for the allowance on that display.

It’s gnomesu, kdesu or xdg-su -c on openSUSE!
