That your X server isn't listening to TCP. Which is normal in this
century. That's why we have DISPLAY=:0 instead of DISPLAY=localhost:0.
(Or, your X server isn't running at all. But since you seemed to expect
to see something, I'm guessing that you actually do have X running, so
my first answer is probably what you want.)
