I can run anything as a regular user but not my apps

is there a way to fix this without rebooting?
This started after I fired up two VM's in KVM

You need to specify XAUTHORITY=
Doing a "sudo" or "su" to run things as the root user can also clear
your individual user X settings, as can using ssh to access the local
system as a root user if you do not allow X forwarding.
Personally, I tend to run as a user, then "ssh -l root localhost" with
my SSH settings and keys set to permit my SSH user on localhost to
connect with ssh-agent and X11 forwarding enabled.
I was forced to reboot over something else, and that
cleared it.
Thank you all for the tips. :-)
