How are you "starting Emacs for root under xfree"? I will guess that
you're logged in as yourself, running a shell in an xterm, and then use
su to become root before starting emacs. In that case, root is the
effective user but you are still the real user. I think you can solve
your problem by using `su -` so that root is the real user, or by
starting Emacs as `emacs -u root` to load it's .emacs file.
