All you really need to do is to set your DISPLAY environment variable, and you can then run stuff from the command line... for csh and derivations: setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0 for bash and related: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 and you're all set to run from that console...you have to re-setenv if you open a new shell, so you might want to put that in your .cshrc or bashrc...
