I always add "xhost localhost" to my WindowMaker startup scripts out of 
habit to ensure that I won't have issues opening programs regardless of 
whether I'm a regular user or su'ed to root (though I've never run into 
that problem with default setups and just acting as a normal user).  Worth 
a shot.
