I can't run XMMS for some reason, it gives me this error:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


** CRITICAL **: Unable to open display

I know this error is common but I have no idea how to solve it, please help!

Usually this happens if you try to run an X application after su'ing to another user. A search for "connection and refused and server" will probably help.
