Thanks for your response.
I tried all your suggestions, but without success.

I'm not sure what you mean by the bluetooth-applet.
I am running KDE, and don't see any such applet.

I tried that, again without success.

When I run "strace gnokii --identify" it looks as though
the program might be looking for some kind of X permission -
I saw in older postings it was suggested one should say "xhosts +",
but I'm not sure what is the equivalent command with xauth,
if indeed there is one.
