That's strange, but the only thing I can think of is that you're
trying to open an X display from root user while you started X using
another user, and there's no DISPLAY environment variable defined.
$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ echo $DISPLAY
:0
If it keeps saying "cant connect", try then "xhost -" (on an xterm
opened by the "proprietary" X user).
