That is an error message from the X client (arcview) that you are
running.  It means that the X display server is refusing the client's
connection to your display.  You probably are running it as a different
user than the Xsession is running as.  You will need to run the xhost
command to allow connections.  You can either run `xhost +` to allow any
client from anywhere to connect (always a bad idea if anybody you don't
trust explicitly can get to that system through a network), or you can
run `xhost +localhost` to allow any client running on localhost to
connect.  You can substitute any system name or IP address for localhost
in that command.  You can reverse these commands by using a '-' instead
of a '+'.  And, as always, read the man page on xhost.
