I'm not using pkexec myself, but I'm using xhost like a
sledgehammer on my Linux, since there it's needed even when using kdesu
or gksudo.

xhost +
gksudo -u chuser "$*"
xhost -

Don't try this at home! On my machine it's ok to use xhost that way.

I don't want to boot FreeBSD now. Are you sure that xhost isn't needed
for kdesu on FreeBSD, if you run something as another user, excepted
root?
