Re: redirecting display of program over telnet (with DISPLAY)

[Shaleh <shaleh@livenet.net>]

Step one: telnet to box where you want data to come FROM
Step two: type `export DISPLAY=<machine>:<display>` where machine is
your machine name and display is your display number -- debian:0
Step three: run an X app.
Step four: enjoy the fun of running apps across the network (-:

All this ASSUMES that you have given the other machine the permission to
talk to your X.  This is not ON by default.  So Step One becomes: type
`xhost +`.  This lets other machines talk to X.
