I'm not sure.  First, X11 needs to be running, of course.  This should be
taken of by the app startup.

Do you have a DISPLAY setting in your .bash_profile?  The app startup will
set it to :0.0 for you, but only if it isn't set already.  If you do have
something in .bash_profile (or other shell init script), it may be set
wrong.  That's all I can think of.

If it used to work, maybe you installed something that added a DISPLAY
line to your .bash_profile?

I don't use d.m, and only occassionally gis.m.  gis.m works for me.
