The problem is that I never had to use run before. So what I want to do
is fix whatever is broken.
Let me recap;
All commands are in xterm with X running.
$ xhost
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display ""
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display ""

$ xcalc
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Can't open display:
When I use run with xcalc it works fine.
Using run with xhost will run xhost fine but I need to enter before it
will show the prompt.
Any ideas?
Thank you
