If you're running as root (and it sounds like you are) open a terminal
as the user login and type:

xhost +localhost

Make sure no space between the + and localhost or it invites everybody
in the world to use your desktop. After issuing the command, su to root
and run it (xcdroast) again. Should work now.

If that fails, I can't imagine what else is going on, because that
(permissions) is what usually causes these types of things to fail.
