I've verified this; it's always /tmp/launchd-XXXX/:0, even if the
actual display you're connecting to is :1. No wonder Rob's having
trouble.
But I guess it might still be possible. We know it's a TCP port in
the low 6000's, and we know the X11 server is being run under the
account of the user. Here's my script now:
#!/bin/sh
MYPORT=`lsof -i tcp:6000-6020 | grep "${USER}.*IPv4.*(LISTEN)" | awk '{print substr($9, 3) - 6000}'`
MYIP=`ifconfig -a | grep 'inet.*broadcast' | awk '{print $2}'`
echo ${MYIP}:${MYPORT}
This should echo the externally addressable DISPLAY setting for your
display, assuming you've got your Mac X11 set up to be connectable
from outside.
