I don't know. Some years ago we were supposed to setup a system by tunneling
X session via SSH. However AFAIR, we could use normal user to tunnel X and
had to execute the command via GUI run by root. For this we extract the
cookie from users session and import it into roots .Xauthority file.
I am really not sure anymore - it is about 7-10y ago.
I would expect the ICE to work in a similar way.
Something like

iceauth extract iceauth.out protoname=DCOP [whatever]

and in the other user

iceauth merge iceauth.out
