The one about "connection to ":0:0" refused by server"? 

Possibly no-one knew the answer. I presume from the mention of
YaST that you are using SuSE, about which I know less than
nothing. I have never seen an error message from "Gnome SuperUser"
so I suppose it is a SuSE thing. 

I delete questions I know I can't answer and will not be able
to answer. I answer questions I can answer without spending too
much time. And I leave the hard ones until the weekend in the
hope that someone else will answer; but knowing that I have
more time at the weekend to do a little research. This question
fell into that category because the "connection to :0:0" thing
does ring a bell, but not in connection with a Gnome SuperUser.

You normally see that message when another user -- any other
user -- tries to run a command which involves drawing things
on the X server which your user owns. It doesn't normally
have Gnome SuperUser prepended, though. 

So for example, create a test user or two. Log in as one test
user. Start X (Gnome, KDE, plain old X). "su othertestuser".
Try to run any graphical app. You'll get that message. 

Beyond that, I am at a loss because I don't know SuSE and I
don't know this Gnome SuperUser thing. So that gets saved 
for the weekend. Sorry about that :)
