Open KDE Konsole, su to root. Start xemacs.
Following message appears:

You can not start X applications under root without setting the
XAUTHORITY environment variable appropriately. This should do the
trick:
XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority; export XAUTHORITY
(or
setenv XAUTHORITY $HOME/.Xauthority
if you use csh [shudder] as root's shell)
Then you can run X applications (including XEmacs) as root.
