Alternately, you can set DISPLAY in your .login file (which generally
gets read for new windows, but not every shell in that new window):
if ($?DISPLAY == 0) then
if ($?REMOTEHOST) then
setenv DISPLAY ${REMOTEHOST}:0
else
setenv DISPLAY :0
endif
endif
If you don't login to your Mac from other places, that may
be a bit overkill and "setenv DISPLAY :0" is all you need.
Since Darwin is kind enough to set REMOTEHOST for you,
though, you can use it for DISPLAY in most cases.
