X connection to localhost:xx.x broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

When I run tomcat server, I got this weird problem. It seems that tomcat tries to access GUI, which is contrary to my thought that tomcat is a background daemon.

A simple google search brought me lots of posts about this problem: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=ugP&q=tomcat+connection+to+localhost%3A+broken+%28explicit+kill+or+server+shutdown%29&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

According to suggestion from this post http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=24226, I just unset environment variable *DISPLAY* in *startup.sh*.
In bash, use *unset DISPLAY*
