I have narrowed the problem down to the following:
It appears that I cannot run the xset command with the options I need from a

xset -q

xset: unable to open display
The same is true

Again, DISPLAY not set? But your alternative will leave you with a
console window, or at least briefly. If this is not tolerable, check
out 'run'.
I have to admit that adding the line
set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
