Maybe it is a problem with the .Xauthority file? You could test with an editor that has both terminal only, gui modes. Emacs is the only one I know of. Try starting it as emacs, if it faces the same problem it should fallback to no-window mode. In any case, I think it is considered good practice to not use gui applications as root. I would stick to vim/emacs -nw/nano etc. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
