On the comand prompt type

in X windows open a terminal prompt, issue the commands ($ denotes the prompt and I an assuming your using something like bash or sh)

$DISPLAY=YOU_IP_ADDRESS:0.0
$export DISPLAY

ex.
$DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

or
    DISPLAY=abc.cde.efg:0.0

and try again you app again.

If you are using tcsh or csh it'll be something like

setenv DISPLAY=abc.cde.efg:0.0  I think
