I don't think so, why would it be?
The problem may be due to specific environment variables or a
different configuration concerning the terminal.

What is your terminal? xterm for instance sets environment variables
that are no longer valid in a different terminal and/or X11 session:
ENVIRONMENT
Xterm sets several environment variables:
DISPLAY
is the display name, pointing to the X server (see DISPLAY NAMES
in X(1)).
[...]
WINDOWID
is set to the X window id number of the xterm window.
This may be your problem...
