It's probably not a KDE thing. I'm also using konsole in KDE4, and after 
becoming root (via su or su -) I have no Problems starting X applications.

I'm no expert at X authorization stuff. But I know that in the past I also 
had trouble when becoming root. Why it works for me and not for you - I 
don't know.

Workarounds you might try:
- Emerge sux, and use sux instead of su. Worked for me in the past.
- ssh -Y root@localhost
