Yes, it works fine using "/usr/local/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu -u username -c 
xterm" where username can be any valid user, including root.

Incidentally another workaround for running X applications as any other user, 
including root,  without needing xhost or copying .Xauthority is to configure 
ssh to support X11 forwarding in ~/.ssh/config and run "ssh 
username at localhost".
