X11R4 question, what would be causing this:
(When logged in as "root" this works, but when logged in
 as a regular user xinit works but any other commands
 get "can't open display")

Symptom: % xinit &
         % twm &
         "Can't open display"

Is there something that could have gone wrong in the X installation,
some file or device that has the wrong protection? A missing file
of some sort?
