What's wrong with having to do a su to root?
I would not accept that either and would use sudo... because now you have a user who knows the root passwd...
As a user if you sudo as root, the DISPLAY variable follows also...
What you are trying to do might take time, as it was discussed years ago as a security breach : we used to block access to root except on console, but the rascals coul connect as root via X11...
I remember seeing it was corrected ( didnt try though...) but did not follow to see how/what was done...
That said here no middleware team has root access, e.g. when installing ORACLE , at a point they need to execute root.sh as root, they have to ask a sysadm to do that... They dont ask me because I want to see the script and analyse first what its doing...
oh about :
Is that a new ssh connection? if so its has another display affected...
But if its an ssh from a new xterm of the user e.g.
Here I did ssh n12...
and using sudo:

login.krb5
LOGIN(8) System Manager's Manual LOGIN(8)NAME
login.krb5 - kerberos enhanced login program
SYNOPSIS
login.krb5 [-p] [-fFe username] [-r | -k | -K | -h hostname]
DESCRIPTION
login.krb5 is a modification of the BSD login program which is used for two functions. It is the sub-process used by krlogind and telnetd
to initiate a user session and it is a replacement for the command-line login program which, when invoked with a password, acquires Ker-
beros tickets for the user.
login.krb5 will prompt for a username, or take one on the command line, as login.krb5 username and will then prompt for a password. This
password will be used to acquire Kerberos Version 5 tickets (if possible.) It will also attempt to run aklog to get AFS tokens for the
user. The version 5 tickets will be tested against a local krb5.keytab if it is available, in order to verify the tickets, before letting
the user in. However, if the password matches the entry in /etc/passwd the user will be unconditionally allowed (permitting use of the
machine in case of network failure.)
OPTIONS -p preserve the current environment
-r hostname
pass hostname to rlogind. Must be the last argument.
-h hostname
pass hostname to telnetd, etc. Must be the last argument.
-f name
Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g., datakit, xterm, etc.; allows preauthenticated login as root.
-F name
Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g., datakit, xterm, etc.; allows preauthenticated login as root.
-e name
Perform pre-authenticated, encrypted login. Must do term negotiation.
CONFIGURATION
login.krb5 is also configured via krb5.conf using the login stanza. A collection of options dealing with initial authentication are pro-
vided:
krb5_get_tickets
Use password to get V5 tickets. Default value true.
krb_run_aklog
Attempt to run aklog. Default value false.
aklog_path
Where to find it [not yet implemented.] Default value $(prefix)/bin/aklog.
accept_passwd
Don't accept plaintext passwords [not yet implemented]. Default value false.
DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection or tty associated with stderr.
