If you are running X as "russell", the system will complain if you try to
run an X app as another user ( the other user does not "own" the X
session on display :0 , and is not authorised to connect to the X server
for that display)

In addition, unless "dashboard" is in the "admin" group, or otherwise
authorised to used sudo, any attempt to use sudo/gksudo will fail for that
user.
