zenmap as root, starts on one and not the other system



About an hour ago I installed zenmap on both my desktop and laptop systems
running Buster and Gnome.  Both had been clean installs back in October,
i.e. not upgraded from any previous Debian installation.

On the desktop starting "Zenmap (as root)" works as expected while on the
laptop it fails to start at all.  Dependencies and Recommended packages are
installed.  On the laptop I see the following in /var/log/user.log:

Jan  3 17:09:16 nomad zenmap-root.desktop[21979]: No protocol specified

Jan  3 17:09:16 nomad zenmap-root.desktop[21979]: gtk.GtkWarning: could not open display

I get the same output when trying to start Zenmap from a terminal using sudo.

TIA
