In my case I am talking about ssh X forwarding, so SSH creates a socket
and provides appropriate DISPLAY variable to point at that socket (not
at the original DISPLAY on the original, now remote, box).
So, if on a local box from which you
come you have DISPLAY smth like localhost:1.0, while doing ssh X
forwarding it would be assigned localhost:X.0, where X>=10 is the first
available socket 6000+X. (X is actually a sshd config option
X11DisplayOffset... may be I should change it to smth higher anyways to
don't interact with running VNCs per idea earlier described earlier in
the thread)
For the code which does that in sshd, please see my latest finding that
my problem is related to IPv6...

here you go -- set==assign imho ;-)

Thanks for the hint -- I will do (for now just adding it to the header
manually ;-))!
