cannot start gnome screen saver

[Jeff Shearer]

Good morning,
I recently installed Debian 7 and am having a bit of trouble.� I cannot get the 
screen saver to work.� While synaptic shows that it is installed, I find 
nothing in the new really bad GUI to set up the screen saver.� When I try to 
laund the screen saver manually,
I get the following:
root@OfficeWks:/home/ttpro0007# gnome-screensaver
No protocol specified



** (gnome-screensaver:9006): WARNING **: Cannot open display:

Thanks,
