Well...
this is a solution.
Well done.
Naturally, this is not working without issuing xhost +.

There is another solution, but it requires more CPU resources, that is
switching user, but I imagine that it open another X server.

Thankyou very mutch.
I promise that I will work to convert everything to a normal user -
maybe I will rename root ;-)
