try it in this form:
3) export DISPLAY = local-host-ip:displaynum
or this:
3) export DISPLAY = local-host-ip:0
Also, try to switch to using xauth instead, extract your x-server cookie,
copy it over, and add it to the machine the app is running on.
Another way is to use ssh x-forwarding, you can use the ssh from
www.ssh.com, or openssh, but X-forwarding is broken on Openssh in LM7.1,
you must manually do "xauth merge /tmp/ssh-xxxx/cookies" where xxxx is
some random garbage.
