why do you need to set $DISPLAY ? You might be better off X in the more "classic" style by letting your linux box be an XDMCP server; this will give you a normal X-windows login screen in your X server on windows. Exactly *how* to set your box as an xdmcp server depends on your X display manager (xdm, gdm, kdm whatever). Have a look in the config files for it; I believe that XDMCP is disabled by default in Debian, you should only need to enable it. -- Karl E.
