... with widget-based applications I had no problems, only with the
graphics windows 0 to 31! Maybe you should try to install XQuuartz

in idl that the display variable looks quite uncommon, e.g. /tmp/
launch-tJ12tR/:0 !!

I don't use the Workbench but there were some hints in the list to
delete the .idl directory in your home directory!
