Please don't CC me. (If somehow my sig isn't clear enough, please let me know how I can make it so.)

Oh wait a minute. I just looked at my .bashrc, etc and think I've noticed the problem.
Try simply doing this:
DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY

-m, -p, --preserve-environment
do not reset environment variables, and keep the same shellThat will preserve things like X display dettings. Just an idea.
