Thanks to Kristopher T. Briscoe "unixboy", Bertrand Hutin and Brett
Lymn.

Brett answered to the why of my error message EVEN IF SHARED MEMORY IS
ENABLED:

"You will get this message if you are remotely displaying the X to
another server because you can only use X shared memory when the X
client and server are on the same machine."

Also to check if shared memory is enable use xdpyinfo and grep for
MIT-SHM

Thanks again,
Daniel
