well I have done, but none of these hints google gave me solved my problem. 
but as i found out it seems to be a problem with xorg and not with kde 
communication, i shall go to another list, asking there... 
despite you know how i can solve the access problem in a secure and easy to 
use way, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. when i change the 
permissions of /root/.xauth... file so that the user can access it, everything 
works, but i do not think this is a good and intended way. 
 
sre at re001:~/Documents/procedures> ssh -X re003  
Enter passphrase for key '/home/sre/.ssh/id_rsa':

Have a lot of fun...  
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth:  creating new authority file /home/sre/.Xauthority  
re003 being added to access control list  
sre at re003:~> sux  
Password:  
re003:/home/sre # echo $DISPLAY  
localhost:10.0  
re003:/home/sre # xauth list  
re003/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  54e0f3180be6f0f911cb086b4b6a56b8  
re003:/home/sre # sux fjr  
re003 /home/sre> xauth list  
xauth:  timeout in locking authority file /root/.xauthhtc3CH  
re003 /home/sre> xauth add re003/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1   
54e0f3180be6f0f911cb086b4b6a56b8  
xauth:  timeout in locking authority file /root/.xauthhtc3CH 
 
 
kind regards
