I can't think why being superuser should make a difference per se.
You may have different initialization files in the respective
login directories, but the X resources are a property of the server
rather than the individual user.  So unless your two windows are
somehow using two different X servers, they should act the same.

That's a different question from logging out and then logging in
again as a different user.  In that case you may load a different
set of X resources into the server during login.
