Thunderbird fails to start

[mattb]

Hi,
I have just downloaded thunderbird, but when i run it fails to start up and i get this instead:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!

(thunderbird-bin:6016): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I've tried installing it from an rpm as well but i get the same error when i run it.
I'm running SuSE 9.1, any help would be great, thanks.

Are you running it as the same user that is running X?

[mattb]

Yer I am

I tried the 0.9 version today but that just gives exactly the same error

Thanks for the response

I found this link http://www.w00tlinux.com/bb/sutra261291.html

kind of similar

have you tried installing as root and then running as root, logout and try as your user?

Thanks for the link

Works perfectly now

Thanks Again
