It should not affect that situation, should it? I mean ssh (with
tunneling, which I assume you mean) sets your DISPLAY for you
automatically. You should probably not override that, unless you are
using xauth or something. So just leave it alone and it should work.

Speaking of strange things. . .
What is the "recommended" way for X DISPLAY to be handled between
Leopard and Tiger?
Obviously since Tiger needs it set. . . and Leopard does not. . .
and if Tiger HAS it set and you SSH to it from a Leopard box (I.E.
laptop) there is no X forwarding magic happening there.
(An no the answer shouldn't be upgrade your Tiger installation to
Leopard ;) )
Thanks,

environment.plist.
I think I was doing that because it got me a DISPLAY in terminal,
but
I honestly don't remember. Removing it, logging out, and logging in
again allowed X to work normally. (if you can consider the strange
launchd behavior normall..)
Where by "strange" you mean "carefully designed and improved", right?
