Just an observation...
Running a google search like
http://www.google.com/search?q=xlib+connection+refused+magic
yields a bunch of hits. One of the common threads is that the error you
are seeing may be caused when trying to run an app as a different user
than the one starting the X server. Are you running the X server as a
normal user, but trying to run 'kppp' as root?
