You are right, sux is a shell script that sets the DISPLAY and forward
X authentication (actually, this is the real problem if you only set
the DISPLAY):

#!/bin/bash
#
# /usr/X11R6/bin/sux    A shell script to forward X authentication
#                       and run `su - root [options]'
#
# Note: sux is the abbrivation of `Substitute User with X11'
#
# Usage: sux [-c command] [-s shell] [-|-l] [[user] args]
