 Yes, AFAIR I had to set DISPLAY to *some* value to make SSH_ASKPASS work. But 
I think I only set it at runtime before we make a request. Maybe there's a 
better value than what we use now, or we need to check whether DISPLAY is 
already set, and in that case shouldn't smash the value?

 I have to say, I am far from an X11 maven, so may well have done something to 
screw this up.
