[lokisetup] xsu broken?

[John Quigley]

It sorta works for me.  If I run 

./xsu -e -a -u root -c "touch it"

I get a root-owned "it" file.  But if I run

./xsu -e -a -u root -c "xterm"

I don't get an xterm.  (Even if I set DISPLAY env)  Running on gentoo now but 
I built xsu on my redhat 7.3 box.
