If you su in an xterm and then attempt to run yast, you'll get this 
error.  There are a couple of solutions, but the easiest one I've found 
is to copy the .Xauthority file from the home directory of the logged in 
user into /root, then root will be able to run X progs.  You'll of 
course need to copy the file as root.
