Version of wmii? Normally you don't need to touch the DISPLAY var, wmii just inherits that provided by xinit/xdm or whoever process starts wmii. You only need to append the screens to DISPLAY var if you run different instances on different screens, but this is only interesting for a multihead setup. Regards, -- Anselm R.
