Yes, thanks for the concern regarding root, I was doing so for test purposes only.
:/usr/bin$ xhost local:root

non-network local connections being added to access control list
:/usr/bin$ /usr/bin/vidalia

I am not sure if you should be running vidalia as root, but if you wish to test:
  1. Open a terminal before you switch to root
  2. xhost local:root
  3. Be aware that any program running as root can now manipulate your display
The effect will last till you restart X.
