gksudo Xauth magic not working for non-root, non-self user

[David Mandelberg]

Hi,

When I try to run gksudo to root or my current user xauth magic works, but for
any other user it doesn't:

david at local$ gksudo -u root 'xmessage hi'
[shows xmessage window]
david at local$ gksudo -u david 'xmessage hi'
[shows xmessage window]
david at local$ gksudo -u david-chat 'xmessage hi'
Xlib: connection
Error: Can't open display: :0.0

Any ideas?
