Hi

I added this little piece of script to my .tcshrc


if ( ! ${?SSH_CLIENT} == 0 ) then
set REMOTEHOST=` echo $SSH_CLIENT | cut -f1 -d " " `
else
set REMOTEHOST = 127.0.0.1
endif
setenv DISPLAY "$REMOTEHOST":0

If I'm SSHing in from somewhere, then this picks up the
proper IP address and sets DISPLAY accordingly. If I'm
running locally it sets the DISPLAY variable to 127.0.0.1:0.

Seems to work for me. Give it a go. If you don't use (t)csh
you'll need to translate it.
