OK, found the answer myself in the SCO/Caldera Knowledgebase. :-) I had "su'd" to root in a konsole window, this apparently was the problem. Using these commands in that session solved the problem (SCO knowledgebase Ref #010711-0025): # export DISPLAY=:0.0 # export XAUTHORITY=/home/<username>/.Xauthority Sorry for the list noise..
