wmaker fatal error: could not open display ":0"


Having trouble getting X to run...  The worst part about  this is that I
had it working a few hours ago, but I uninstalled and reinstalled becaused
I foobared my package choices and vim couldn't find some resource.  So
atleast I know it's a configuration problem.  Now to pin it down...

I am using WindowsXP Home Ed. SP1
When I attempt to startx I get the following:
-----
$ startx
waiting for X server to shut down
$ wmaker fatal error: could not open display ":0"
-----
I've also tried:
----- 
$ startx -display ":1"             // I've tried it as 1, :1 and ":1" with
the same response
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :1
waiting for X server to shut down
-----

My XWin.log from just the command "startx" reads as...

----- $ cat XWin.log -----
