<pre wrap="">This behavior could be consistent with having the X
server started by a
different user than the one connecting later. Note
that when user fubar
starts (owns) the X session, not even the user root
can connect to it (not
without resorting to trickery at least). So, be
sure you start the X server
by the same account throughout.
But I think in that case the errormessage is
slightly different:
unable to open display "" is what I see here.
You could test to see if this would make any
difference: adding the command
'xhost +' in between export DISPLAY=:1 and the rest.
However, again, xhost
must be run by the user owning the X session,
otherwise it will just return a
failure. Please note that running 'xhost +' is NOT
secure, it will open up
your X session for everybody. So use this only in a
trusted environment !
