This is normal, by default an X server does not allow anybody but the user running it to connect. You'll have to tell it to make an exception. There are a few ways to do this. All the ones I know of involve "xhost", "xauth", or "ssh". Since you mention "sudo", it would probably be easiest for you to execute the following: "xhost +local:" This allows any non-network local connection to be allowed. Note that this is fairly heavy-handed and might constitute a security risk. Read the man pages of those commands for further information. Anyone have better ideas?
