    is there an easier way to fix
    Code:
    <program>: cannot connect to X server :0.0
    root@dave-desktop:/home/dave# <program> <options>
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified
    its usually fixed by rebooting, but it's a pain rebooting everytime i get this error

    Hehe, we've covered this before haven't we? :)

    You can't launch graphical programs from the command line as root.

    If you need to launch a graphical program as root then you can type:

    Code:
    kdesu <program>
