If you use 'csh' or 'tcsh', create a '.login' file with this: setenv DISPLAY :0 If you use a bourne-type shell (and it sounds like you do), put this into our '.profile' or '.bashrc' or equivalent: export DISPLAY=:0 Every shell you open should have that set in it (you can check by typing "echo $DISPLAY").
