in fact i've found the solution ( i'm so stup** )
Well i'm going to post it here that's gonna probably help some over people :

I check my .Xauthority in /home/kaldoran ... this one had been changed
I've just do a "chown kaldoran:users .Xauthority and all get solved.

Hope that's gonna help someone

If I undestood you then you were able to start a graphical interface with root and weren't able to do so as regulaar user. Thet means you need to sart Xorg as root (for whatever reason, as with systemd it shouldn't be the case). Not long ago this feature has been introduced to arch users, and has been posted in the news section.
