Correct, but DISPLAY is not something you should normally have to
set yourself.
I had to put:
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
in my .bash_profile since I got a Mac back when we were still on
Panther. Otherwise X applications wouldn't connect when run from
Terminal.app. I don't use X apps over SSH, though...
It's a good thing, because they would not work if you have the above
in your profile. :-)
A safer thing might be:
export DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-":0.0"}
