FWIW, I am pretty sure I was barking up the wrong tree.....
It seems that DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID is actually related to Xorg than
anything else....and it is too late and I've got to get up too early to

It would seem that you've always started system-config-display as a
normal user. I'd be curious if you'd first "su -" if the same error
would occur.
Also, FWIW, there were several bugzilla's for various system-config-*
utils with the same error message.
