Hi,
excuse me if my suggestion underestimates your X11 knowledge, but
what is the contents of the environment variable $DISPLAY when you are
logged in as root and as a normal user?
Could it be, that this variable has no value when logged in as an user, so
that your X11-applications fail to connect to the X11-server on your host?
If my suspicions apply please set the DISPLAY variable to ":0.0" and try
again to run the application...
Alternatively, you are using Xauthority type of connection authorisation for
your server, and in your user's home-directory is a (old) wrong key-file
.Xauthority ...
hope this hepls,
regards,
Stoyan
