Hello, I am running FreeBSD 5.4 with the Fluxbox window manager.  I have
installed a MySQL GUI but I cannot run it as root:
(mysql-administrator-bin:814): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I logged in locally as a non-privileged user (who can open the program)
and su'd to root.  I then set my DISPLAY variable:
# DISPLAY=LOCALHOST:0.0
Here are the programs (mysql-administrator calls mysql-administrator-bin):
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   546B Feb  8 03:10
/usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   2.3M Feb  8 03:10
/usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator-bin
What should I do?
