If you're using the bash shell, you need to use export:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
Correct, but DISPLAY is not something you should normally have to set yourself.
If you're ssh'ing to a remote host and trying to display X
applications back, you need to use "ssh -X" or "ssh -Y"' (the latter
is required if you're connecting to a Mac running 10.4) in the first
place. That should set DISPLAY for you on the remote end
automatically. And the correct value won't be "localhost:0", but
"localhost:10" or whatever the next display number sshd gets happens
to be.
