I use gnome-terminal to login into the root user account as ''su -'' as normal user. When I try to load any X window application it doesn't get loaded.

smplayer: cannot connect to X server
But if I log in as root in lxdm I can open all applications from terminal without a problem. Any solution ?

[root@hitachi ~]# gksu nautilus
-bash: gksu: command not found
[root@hitachi ~]#
I tried alt + F2 and ran gksu nautilus, gnomesu nautilus. It says command not found.
I dont prefer(security risk) the alternate methods given in the wiki.
I was able to run the X apps as root last month.
I had this issue couple of days ago and I had to format the hard disk for different reason and after reinstall I have the same issue.

You need to install 'gksu' first. 'su' is now provided by util-linux.

I missed the part of installing gksu in the new installation.
Thanks for the links.
doesnt look like I will be able to run the X apps by old method.

you can also launch at start (or before the sudo x_app command) "xhost +"
extra/xorg-xhost 1.0.5-1 (xorg-apps xorg) [installed]
Server access control program for X
don't know if it's a security risk or not, but as i'm running a homeuser desktop without important data, i do not care too much for security
