This occurs only with sudo? I had a similar problem, solved by adding the following to visudoers: # Uncomment to allow users in group wheel to export variables Defaults:%wheel !env_reset # Allow users in group users to export specific variables # Defaults:%users env_keep=TZ ==> Defaults:%users env_keep=DISPLAY There are probably other ways to solve this, but that works for me.
