a minor goof up on my part. I didnot mean $DISPLAY, I meant DISPLAY only i.e
prompt> set DISPLAY = yourmachine.domain.com:0
prompt> export DISPLAY
if you do a echo $DISPLAY you will see the correct value. __merci__ I was
thinking about DISPLAY variable and was automatically prepending the $. Just
try the above steps, it will work

If you put that statement in your xinitrc, then you have to edit your
xinitrc every time you connect from different workstations.
Infact you are binding X to one machine by doing this. It would be better if
you put a line to that effect in your .profile
