<chmou_mode>no this is a user issue</chmou_mode> :-) sorry ...

no, this is right.
for security reasons, only the user who've launched Xserver can connect to it (ie
run gfx apps). to allow other machines, type 'xhost machine'.
'xhost localhost' or 'xhost whatever_is_my_machine_name' 'll let root
connect to Xserver.
