- su: add pam_open_session() support. If builded without PAM support
   propagate $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY enviroment variables.
   Based on http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/sys-apps/shadow/files/shadow-4.0.4.1-su-pam_open_sess

Your /etc/pam.d/su is affected by lack of using session
modules. Exapmple correct file is in etc/pam.d/su in shadow source tree.
In this case your /etc/pam.d/su file can be fixed for example by adding on 
bottom line:

session         required        pam_env.so
