How and when are you running the command?

 From the command line... in a terminal emulator inside X? Because if
you're ssh'd in you'll need to tell it which display to talk to, e.g.
DISPLAY=0 unclutter

This should, of course, be
DISPLAY=:0 unclutter
Mea culpa.

The problem is I do not know what the value for display=: should be as
0 does not work (display not found) and all other numbers produce the
same result

If you are running X, it's almost certainly :0

If you're not running X, what do you expect this X program to do when
you run it?

n.b. it *must* be DISPLAY=:0, not display=:0
