1. is X running?
2. which user is X running as?
3. what machine does it think it's running on? (ie, does it know that
127.0.0.1 is your machine? ) i've seen windows installs without 127.0.0.1
before.
4. if the above seem to be working, try "xhost + 5AT8S8CQEEX4QHI" which
will allow anyone on that machine to run programs. theoretically :)
