launch-on-demand from a cocoa app

Subject: launch-on-demand from a cocoa app

I've got a Cocoa launcher that starts up an X11 program. The problem I have is that for some reason, the magic /tmp/launch... DISPLAY variable is not set when the Cocoa app launches. Instead, DISPLAY gets set to 'localhost'.

Why does a bash shell in Terminal get the magic DISPLAY variable set, but a Cocoa app not? Is there a simple workaround, other than searching /tmp and trying to deduce which socket is the right one?
