I'm trying to install forticlient on fedora 14 for vpn access, and I get the following error when I run it for the first time:
No protocol specified
Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?
Any ideas what could be causing this problem?

It should also resolve your problem

Everything points to something wrong with XOrg.
No protocol specified is an Xlib
error. gtk is the GIMP Toolkit, and
it depends on Xlib. DISPLAY is an
environment variable used by Xlib to
determine your display.Do you have XOrg running? Is there something wrong with it? Can you not start other GTK apps?

I got this error whilst trying to run PgAdminIII from the command line. The reason I got this error was because I was inside an account that didn't have privileges to access gtk, an application that creates the GUI for applications.
Basically (as with most errors), try running the application as a substituted user:
$ sudo forticlientsslvpn
or change to your main account and run it:
$ su main_account
> password: ********
$ forticlientsslvpn
