iTerm sets the same variable Terminal does, and you can put code in
your .cshrc to set your DISPLAY variable. I'm afraid I only use bash,
so someone will have to translate the following bourne shell stuff for
me:
case "$TERM_PROGRAM" in
iTerm.app|Apple*)
if [ "$DISPLAY" = "" ]; then
DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY
fi
;;
esac
xdpyinfo > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
unset DISPLAY
fi
