Hi Andrew.
I'm running Seti@Home myself. In order to run the X version (graphics)
to work, you need the following command line:
./setiathome -graphics & ./xsetiathome
The -graphics option tells the setiathome prog to send it's output in a
format readable by the xsetiathome bit.
I also run a text-only version in another directory, i.e, two copies at
once, although the x client can only see one at a time.
Incidentally, have you tried look@seti - this enables you to see
multiple instances simultaneously - even if they are on remote
machines. There is even an option to view a skymap showing the area
that your signals came from!
Hope that helps.

Ozz.
