XV and GV hanging

[Chris Jones]

Sounds like you have an issue with your X11 server, as these 
applications are perhaps hanging at the point they are waiting for it to 
start up.

1. Does it automatically start if you run a very basic X11 application, 
like xeyes ?

If that does not trigger the X11 server to start, then the issue is with 
that.

2. can you manually start the X11 server instead of relying on the 
automatic startup via the DISPLAY socket ?
