Re: Gtk-warning: cannot open display

["Jean-Christophe Berthon" <jean-christophe berthon cgey com>]

did you try to open another term and logon as root (for example, or even try
it with your own login name) and then type this:
xhost +

then try to run your program. Is it still showing the same problem?
