Thanks for your help, but the problem has not vanished :/

I've added an entry in /root/.Xauthority though xauth (by using sudo -H)
and it works to launch X applications.

But when I suspend through KDE (that calls HAL which then calls pm-suspend) 
it's the same result...
I also retried with the command in the script (and with my new 
/root/.Xauthority), and the suspend leads to the same errors:

/usr/bin/xauth:  timeout in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority
/usr/bin/xauth:  unable to generate an authority file name
(and the "Can't open display" twice, Note that it is not a  "Can't open 
display :0")

It seems that the .Xauthority is accessed by someone else (HAL?).
But the .Xauthority does also not seem to be related to the problem.

New ideas ? ;)

Best regards,

	Eric
