Can you tell me what environment/system details would be useful to you to have to help characterize it?
I'm not really sure ... I've never seen XSHM fail like that before. If you grab this:
http://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/autopackage/0.5/autopackage-0.5.tar.bz2
extract it, and find the autosu program try running it like this:
./autosu ls
(or whatever)
You should see a GTK2-based authentication dialog asking for the root password. If you do, then hrm, we have a bug where it works outside the package environment but not in it (by that stage it's not all that different). If you get the same error then there's something odd about your box - other SuSE 9 users have reported success.
Let's see if we can nail this one.
