When I try to start any X application, from an xterm, I get the following
errors. This used to always work but is broke for some reason. I would like
some direction on how to troubleshoot this. I think this is some kind of
program running that is getting in the way but can't find which one. Both
virus and firewall are disabled. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Start the X server first (xstartwin). If that doesn't work, then your
firewall and/or virus scanner are likely to blame, disabled or not.
Uninstall them and try again.
