vi trying to connect to X

[Anthony Simonelli <asimonelli7@yahoo.com>]

Hi there.  I'm tried to get used to vi as an editor since it is found on 
nearly every Unix and Unix-like system and I've heard that those who are 
proficient at it are able to edit files faster than using any other editor.

I'm running KDE and use Konsole but everytime I invoke vi from Konsole, I get 
the following:

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

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

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

It appears that it is trying to connect to the X server?  Why is that and how 
do I fix it?
