[sudo-users] incorrect theme when using sudo

I am trying to run Galeon as a different user, but it is not displaying the 
correct theme when it starts.

This is what happens with various commands:-

--------------------

sudo -H -u username /usr/bin/galeon

 - Galeon displays with default theme instead of username's theme

--------------------

sudo -H -u username /usr/bin/xterm

Then in the xterm:-

/usr/bin/galeon

 - Galeon displays with username's theme

--------------------

sudo -H -u username /usr/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/galeon

 - Galeon displays with default theme instead of username's theme

--------------------

Does anyone have an idea of why the correct theme is only applied when Galeon 
is started from a running xterm? And can I get it to display the correct 
theme without using an xterm?

Cheers.

Tony.
