[GRASSLIST:2575] Re: Xlib - no protocol specified error

[francesco pirotti]

Thanks Glynn,

You are certainly right, about xauth.  
I did not yet find a solution:  I found though that if I try to call a
tcltk object directly from a terminal I get the 
__________________-
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
____________________--
error BUT if I run the GRASS shell as root I get the diplay manager
without problems ... 
I am not an expert on X so I doubt I will be able to solve this
mystery...
If anybody has any ideas, I'll be glad to try them out.
Cheers,
