X11 Question

Subject: X11 Question

Hi.  I am writing a X11 application launcher that does the following:

1. Launch X11 if it is not already launched
2. Set the DISPLAY environment variable
3. Set some other environment variables
4. Launch the X11 application

All is well, except for step 2, where I need to figure out the user's X11 display (:0, :1, etc.). I see that if I do a grep for X11, one of the X11 instances will tell me the the display on the command-line it was started with, but that seems inelegant to me.

Is there a better way?
