I'm not exactly sure what this does other then storing the remote IP into a var DISPLAY. What's happening is X is starting on the server, I can see it running under top. But all I get in the messages window after all of the usual X startup stuff is "using filler Colortype 2 is not rgb/alpha couldn't allocate: background, using White instead" Nothing ever shows up in xwin. And, I keep having to reboot because I'm not sure what to kill to stop X in my ssh window.
