Could be that root has only the too short default PATH that does not  
comprise /usr/X11R6/bin. 'Sudo xterm' *might* help, what will work  
is: 'sudo -H /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm' — but we've seen already better  
propositions!

This is part of an old safety mechanism in X11. The defaults command  
can change this behaviour for the next X11 session. Temporarily  
'xhost root@' would allow "root access" to X11 — as guest on this  
display!
