The problem is that I never had to use run before.  So what I want to do
is fix whatever is broken.

Let me recap;

All commands are in xterm with X running.

$ xhost
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost:  unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost:  unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost:  unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost:  unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost:  unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost:  unable to open display ""

$ xcalc
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:

When I use run with xcalc it works fine.

Using run with xhost will run xhost fine but I need to enter before it
will show the prompt.

Any ideas?


Thank you
