Well, 'bash' is the DEFAULT Panther shell. I guess I forgot that not
everybody switches this to 'tcsh'.
I don't use 'bash' regularly, but I do a lot of bourne shell programming,
so I'll give it a try. My guess would be something like this:
Edit $HOME/.bash_login or $HOME/.bash_profile and put this in it:
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
if [ -n "$REMOTEHOST" ]; then
export DISPLAY=${REMOTEHOST}:0
else
export DISPLAY=:0
fi
fi
If the "export var=val" doesn't work, you can do this:
DISPLAY=:0; export DISPLAY
