Obtaining exceed display number

I'm currently logging into a Linux server through a Citrix system then using 
exceed to run various X processes. 
To set up my display, I need to know the host name from whence I cam. This 
can easily be obtained from the 'who -m' command. 
But, before I can set the DISPLAY variable, I need to the display number. 
Exceed displays this in an icon. I am wondering if anyone might know a way 
that I can get at this number programatically from the Linux system in that 
network. 

The worst case is that I query for it when I log in.
