Hello, strange error this time.
I start grass 5.7 and everything is fine. If I type d.m to start a new
display manager from the terminal it gives me the following error
message:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't
connect to display ":0.0"
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error in startup script: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to
display ":0.0"
while executing
"load /usr/lib/tk8.4/../libtk8.4.so Tk"
("package ifneeded" script)
invoked from within
"package require Tk 8.0"
("package ifneeded" script)
invoked from within
"package require -exact BWidget 1.2.1"
(file "/usr/local/grass5.7src/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/dm/d.m.tcl"
line 2)
If I try to start a new monitor "d.mon start=x1" from the terminal it
gives me a similar error:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
ERROR: Graph_Set: can't open Display :0.0
No socket to connect to for monitor <x1>.
Problem selecting x1. Will try once more
No socket to connect to for monitor <x1>.
All this also happens in grass5.3 (with d.mon and d.dm), and in both
cases ONLY when the command is given from the terminal. If I start a
monitor or the display manager from the tcltk interface in 5.3 it is
fine.
Any ideas? (I am running tk8.4 on Linux Mandrake 10)
Thanks guys,

This is an X authentication error. This indicates that
$HOME/.Xauthority (or the file referenced by $XAUTHORITY, if that is
set) is, in some sense, invalid.
One common reason for this is if $HOME isn't set correctly. Try
running "xauth list" to view the list of authentication credentials
which are available to Xlib.

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

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.

In that situation, I would expect you to get the same result for
running any X program from the terminal.

Check the ownership and permissions on the ~/.Xauthority file; it
should be owned by you.

An elegant fix to the problem...
I reinstalled a 9.1 mandrake version instead of the beta 10 version...
Thanks!
