no.

check your display environment variable ( % printenv DISPLAY ).

from Graph_Set.c:

                                                 ^^

     The XDisplayName function returns the name of the display
     that XOpenDisplay would attempt to use.  If a NULL string is
     specified, XDisplayName looks in the environment for the
     display and returns the display name that XOpenDisplay would
     attempt to use.  This makes it easier to report to the user
     precisely which display the program attempted to open when
     the initial connection attempt failed.
