I think that's irrelevant. It's a blackbox ... so be it. We just know all apps must use the same $DISPLAY value. I'm pretty sure all apps also go through a shared KDE initialisation phase, probably part of kdelibs. Forcing the DISPLAY env. variable to a sensible, constant value at the start of that phase should set the variable as required. It's a hack, but we're probably not going to be able to do any nicer for KDE4. KF5 will probable (hopefully)? evolve to using something other than $DISPLAY ... unless that same thing is used by Wayland! R.
