Any ideas? It's saying your X11 client isn't able to use the X protocol to talk to your X11 server because the necessary Xauthority data doesn't exist, i.e. you started a shell with something that doesn't manage the Xauthority magic cookies, like 'su'. You could use something like ssh, otherwise you will have to resort to using something like 'xhost +' which is a security risk. Doug
