Comment 20 for bug 398186

 Thank you. The problem is solved! I do manual set the $DiSPLAY variable to
":0.0" . Both my .profile and .bash_profile is setup this way. I must have
done this a long time ago to get some X window program working. Anyhow,
thank you for your persistence in helping track the issue down.
