What you are seeing here are the normal logging messages from
these applications (console output).  Not necessarily errors.
Normally these are hidden by the gui (KDE) environment you
launch them from. (But they are there never the less).

You will often see these in a shell when you ssh to another
station and launch a gui app that connects back via the
ssh tunnel.

(The fact that you do not get "Cannot connect to X server"
when you su to root implies that you have set something
up with  .rhosts or .shosts or something.

sux is suse's answer for this.  ssh to localhost works too.
