$display should be �helped� in the startx-script. According to the man-page for xinit
the first :number will be the screen on which $clientags will apear while the rest of
the commands will be parsed to the Xserver to be used there.
startx :1 == xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/your_wm -- $display :1 = start your_wm on $display
and Xserver on display 1. /= what you want if $display /= :1
deleting $display is not the option because if you log on to a machine via telnet, do
a EXPORT to local machine and did a startx you would expect that your_wm like
(almost?) all other X-programs would appear on your local machine and not the machine
to which you telnet to.
P.S. I think that for ssh the same thing applies. Have never done it over an insecure
network so don�t know how it exactly works
