Trouble within screen

[William O'Higgins Witteman]

I'm running a multi-headed screen session on my home machine.  I am
logged into my home machine via ssh, and I have attached to my screen
session.  So far so good.

I launch the screen session automatically from a terminal which I launch
via .xinitrc.  I'm trying to give all the relevant info here.

Everything seems to be fine, until I launch vim (not gvim - this is for
things like email composition in mutt).  Once I do that, I see the
following errors:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

X is running on my home machine, but I am not logged in - another user
is the one running X on the physical box.  I'm just running off my
screen session.

Is there a way to a) make this error go away or b) is it that screen
thinks it should be in a terminal emulator, and I should launch my
screen session from the console?

Any tips would be appreciated.  Thanks.
