MQ Explorer not opening with strmqcfg as mqm - linux

Question

I am trying to open MQExplorer as mqm with the strmqcfg command. I want to start the MQExplorer as mqm and I have the Xauthority set up, but it seems that strmqcfg cannot draq the splash screen for MQExplorer. I am quite new to MQ and to what java classes mq uses for drawing the UI, so i don't know how tto fix this error. I have seen that you must delete and re-create the workspace, but i do not want to loose all my queue manager data. I am getting this error when I run the strmqcfg command as the mqm user:
