Just means your X session isn't allowing requests from any user other than the one that started the session. Very sensible really. If you do an 'xhost +' before su-ing you'll be ok.
I wish people would stop recommending "xhost +".
It's surely OK on a 'closed' network where all the systems are behind a firewall which protects them from the nasty outside world. Our development systems at work allow virtually unlimited access to everyone all across the network. Using anything other than "xhost +" in this situation would be pretty pointless.
