	The DISPLAY standard for X11 is [hostname]:[display].[screen]

	If you've only got one X server running with one
	active screen, it'll always be 0.0, but if you
	use a window manager with, for example, a 3x3
	pager display, then you could send your apps to
	displays 0.0 -> 0.8 if you wanna go all fancy.  
	It sounds like you may not have added the address
	of the client machine to your X server's xauth
	list.  Just add it by running `xauth +hostname`
	on the machine w/ the X server.

	Looks great, but probably you shouldn't read
	your e-mail as root. (Or is it just your
	 GECOS field?)
