What is up is that you are attempting to make a connection to the
X-server
as root which is dissallowed by default, for securtity reasons.  To fix
this you will need to type the following command from an alreay open
terminal window (as anyone but root)
"xhost + [hostname/ipaddress]"
The hostname/ipaddress is optional but without it ANY host can open a
connection to your X-server and send stuff to your display, but if this
is
on a local home network that uses the non routeable 192.168 network this
isn't such a problem. HTH
