Whenever I try to start an X program from an xterm it always says "connection refused to :0.0" anyone know why?

I presume you're trying to run these programs as root? In that case your problem is that the ~/.Xauthority file of the user you logged in as has the magic for launching X clients. A quick workaround if you are the only root user on your system is to link root's .Xauthority file to yours.

root@yourhost:~# ln -s /home/username/.Xauthority /root/.Xauthority
