I don't have your original post, but I seem to remember you doing 
something like:

	export DISPLAY=something:1

Are you sure you're using :1?  :1 would be some other server, other 
than the default running on that host.  I think, but maybe wrong, 
that you really want to to use :0, not :1.

But, like I said, I don't have your original post, and therefore 
can't go back to see what you're actually trying to do.
