"Cannot open display" can mean a number of things..  But the most 
obvious is whether you're running X-windows (are you looking at a 
graphical environment, or a text-mode prompt?) or not.  If a graphical 
application looks for the X environment variable to be set (which 
starting X windows as a user does for you) and doesn't find it, it will 
give you that error.  Another source of this problem is one user has 
logged into the console, and you are running the graphical application 
as a different user (often root, aka super-user).  The point I'm making 
is that it isn't necessarily the browser or Gtk+ library causing this 
issue; other browsers may behave similarly given the same conditions.
