OK - I will play with this but I think you aren't understanding how I am accessing...
I am connecting to remote via ssh...
ssh -XC user@host
I can execute this program no problem by the './startconsole...'
But I really want to use a VNC session and run from there...so instead, I have vncserver start as my user and connect...
vncviewer localhost:1
Once I authenticate, I am running a VNC session and I can use things like firefox/evolution/etc.
I then open a terminal session, su - to root and then execute the command, which is when I get this error.
If this explanation helps...I am offering it. Basically, everything I am doing is not on my local machine but rather on the remote to which I am connected via ssh.
Ahhh. After you open the terminal session and before running "su -", execute xhost +localhost
That should work.

Thanks - sorry I didn't make myself more clear earlier - thanks for the patience.
