Problem Running apps WindowServerComunication error

[D D]

I just installed GNUstep from the cvs repository and followed the 
instructions GNUstep Build Guide for Unix Systems.  I am running a slackware 
box with XFree86 4.x.  When ever I try to use openapp to run any 
application, be it Gorm or GWorkspace, I always get the same error:

/opt/GNUstep/System/Applications/Gorm.app/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu/Gorm: 
Uncaught exception WindowServerCommunication, reason: Unable to connect to X 
server `:0.0`.

I'm running this from inside window maker I don't understand why the apps 
can't connect to the X server.  I know very little about GNUstep but I 
believe I followed the installtion instructions to the letter.  I've looked 
through the old archives of this mailing list and the faq and I can't find 
this specific error.  Can anybody help me with this?
