I get the following errors starting KDE. by Michiel 2005-03-16 07:10:36
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
xset: unable to open display ""
xset: unable to open display ""
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Running kpersonalizer...
kwin: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
etc....

So, I take it I have to give a display value somewhere. Where? And what? Also, would this solve the 'cannot connect to X server' error?

Thanks!
