I had the same problem, but it was *not* PAM-related (I don't use PAM). |

Found an answer on the forums (sorry, no link this time, maybe later)-- |
19 |
adding the following to sudoers (using visudo) worked for me: |
20 |
|
21 |
# Allow users in group users to export specific variables |
22 |
# Defaults:%users env_keep=TZ |
23 |
Defaults:%users env_keep=DISPLAY |
24 |
|
25 |
(the uncommented line is the additional line in question) |

Hope this helps, |
