More complete test:
after having removed the EXPORT DISPLAY=:0 in my .profile
bike:~ $ echo $DISPLAY
bike:~ $ xterm &
[1] 53519
bike:~ $ xterm: Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
So now I know why I had that explicit setting of $DISPLAY in there.
Perhaps it is mucked in some legacy file still hanging around in /ETC or
elsewhere.
Note: I always start X11 app first, so never worry about the "autostart"
before with the special value of DISPLAY.
