don't forget to set DISPLAY back after you run XFdrake. If you don't want
to do that, run:

DISPLAY="" XFdrake

or, from non-bourne shells:
env DISPLAY="" XFdrake

(not exactly unsetting this, but Xlib ignores an emtpy DISPLAY variavle.
It worked last time I tried).

With Xconfigurator I remember something like:
Xconfigurator -- :1
also worked (telling it to use display :0 explicitly), but it was a while
ago, and I'm not exactly sure.
