Well, first of all, you shouldn't be trying to use the gtk frontend, as it
has major problems. You were told this when you configured debconf, and you
picked it anyway.
You probably don't have things set up to allow root to run X programs. If
you set DEBCONF_DEBUG=1 in the environment, you can see exactly why the gtk
frontend is failing.
