[Solved] putty+x11:How do I pass X11 display rights to "su"?

I can log into a unix system with Putty. I've set the "X11 forwarding" checkbox, and I've verified that I can display an X11 window back on my laptop. What I need to be able to do is "su" to another uid after logging in and then run something which display a window back on my laptop, with the permissions of that su-ed id. That isn't working. I imagine this has something to do with ssh, but I can't figure out the EXACT steps I need to go through to get this to work.
