I got around this by adding the following to ~/.profile > export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 how about in /etc/profile setting the following:? ---- if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then export DISPLAY=192.168.11.1:0.0; fi ---- the above tests for emptyness of the $DISPLAY variable, and sets it to the predefined setting (192.168.11.1:0.0) if it hasn't already been set by sshd.
