The trouble is that when I run 'xhost 127.0.0.1' in a cygwin window on
my win2k system I just get the error:-
xhost: unable to open display ""
What should the DISPLAY environment variable be set to for the local
display? I'm used to setting it for remote systems but I can't get
the right value for this one.
