X display wmmaker terminal

[Lance Hoffmeyer <lance@augustmail.com>]

I am having problems getting "wmsetbg" to work from a terminal.

I tried typing export DISPLAY=localhost:0
               export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0


and then 

wmsetbg -display localhost:0.0 -e pic.gif -w 2  from a terminal (tty1)

but I get "could not open display.

I also tried

xhost +localhost from a xterminal in X.


To no avail.


What can I try or how do I determine what my display is?
