xserver access problem

Greetings;

I've succeeded in making heyu run as a normal user.  But one of its 
functions is to intercept an x10 palmpads output and control xmms for 
when I'm in the basement playing pool with the neighbors.

I know its against everyones better judgment here, but x is running as 
root and will be.

So now these xmms control functions are blocked by its not having access 
to the display when its launched by gene. I just tried adding gene to the 
screen group, but that made no difference.

What would be the correct method to give gene access to a root xserver?

Cheers, Gene
