   That sounds suspiciously like what X libraries say when  
they...well, can't open the display. ;)  In a UNIX-ish OS, here's  
what happens when one starts an X app when the DISPLAY environment  
variable isn't set, and a display isn't specified on the command line:

g5$ unset DISPLAY
g5$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
g5$
