Hi!

 I have got this problem partially resolved by setting & exporting the variable
 DISPLAY=:0.0 from the root enviornment and doing the same from the others users

 enviornment. This worked on RedHat Linux 5.2. But the same thing did not work
on
 the RedHat Linux 6.0. The error which I received was

 The Xserver refused the connection.

 Please advise me the right way of getting this working on all the versions of
 the Linux.

 Thanx in advance.

 Bye,
 Rajesh
