Hello,

this is with a recent ECL from git:

% echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

% ecl
ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 10.3.1
[...]
> (require :clx)

;;; Loading #P"/home/julian/local-install/lib/ecl-10.3.1/clx.fas"

("CLX" "SB-BSD-SOCKETS" "SOCKETS")
> (xlib:open-default-display)

X-Error: Connection failure to X11.0 server  display 0: No protocol specified

Staring at display-connect doesn't reveal what's the real cause. Any
hints?
