I don't understand. How do the remote systems deal with even a
non-launchd-style *local* DISPLAY value, e.g. just plain :0 without a
hostname? Something must already be translating that somewhere.
Why not use ssh instead of rexec, with its X11 tunnelling that
automatically sets the remote DISPLAY appropriately?
