Well, after experiencing the problem again after reboot and
performing some extra research, I found contributions in the web indicating that this
problem is related to 'root' being intentionally prevented (for security reasons)
to connect to the non-root user's X server. The suggested command to overcome this
is:
xhost local:root
to which the system responds with
non-network local connections being added to access control list
I tested and it indeed solves the problem, although it is not permanent (you have to run
this command after logout or reboot again to grant root with privileges over the non-root
X server).
Could anyone with knowledge on X servers indicate a robust, permanent solution?
Tks!

I put the command xhost + in the "startup and Shutdown" | autostart
dialog under "Desktop File".
Since then I am able to run X programs as root from the terminal.
