no, you don't need to set DISPLAY. but you said:
This tip is bad. It does not work. The first line makes the following
fail (or, I think, in case of bad security on client succeed but by-pass the
ssh-tunnel).
which is incorrect. the tip in question was this:

Will, you could build a fortune cookie database:
build your list of tips in this way:

other tip of the day:

file ( that's an index file, I believe)
