exporting the DISPLAY variable

[Johan Bergström]

Try putting a semicolon before the 0.0, if you are running any windows
locally, xterms or whatever they may be, you dont usually need to touch
the DISPLAY variable. If you are planning on running windows on your
machine that are started on an other machine, you need to export the
DISPLAY variable on that other machine to point to yourip:0.0.

If you still need to export DISPLAY locally, just do export DISPLAY=:0.0
