Opps I'm sorry. . . . I got that a little backwards. .
The scenario below does work.
The scenario I was thinking about is ssh from Tiger to Tiger once you
remove DISPLAY to accomodate Leopard. I had DISPLAY exported in /etc/
bashrc for all my Tiger installs. . . but Leopard obviously doesn't
play well with that.
So now I remove that to accommodate Leopard's X. . . but now when I
ssh Tiger to Tiger. . .obviously there is no DISPLAY being passed. So
I guess now I have to manually set DISPLAY every time I ssh from
Tiger to Tiger if I've removed DISPLAY to accommodate Leopard's new X11?

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,

I was one of the people having problems starting X due to my

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?
