asunder cannot open display

EDIT: Sorry to waste anyone's time. Starting other gtk apps was failing, so I rebooted and it works. It seems that it was related to a failed xcompmgr attempt with a blur radius for shadows of 1000 (typo). After that I couldn't run xcompmgr anymore, and then this happened.

I get the error:
(asunder:23127): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

when I try to run asunder after compiling it. I am running slackware 12.1 and X is definitely running. I get this error with asunder 1.6 and 1.6.1.

I was wondering if any of my fellow slackers know why.

Glad you got it fixed, but please post your thread in only one forum. Posting a single thread in the most relevant forum will make it easier for members to help you and will keep the discussion in one place. This thread is being closed because it is a duplicate.
