I've also seen this kind of thing when trying to run X programs from a console in which I've su'ed to root. Any ideas what might be going on here?
It sounds like you chose the KDE frontend to debconf, so it /is/ trying to connect to your Xserver as root.
export XAUTHORITY=~youruser/.Xauthority
in the root session usually does the trick.
