Hi Scott, finally I solved the problem. I was logged in (X11 Session) as a normal user and did su to root in a shell. The error occurred as I tried to invoke TcpTunnelGui under root. As I did su back to a normal user I found out that there was a environment variable 'XSESSION_IS_UP=yes'. That variable was not set under root. After I logged out and in under X as root this variable was set and everything worked fine.
