Thanks. I'm looking at this now.

I did find out (by reading the FAQ) that if I do this:

# export DISPLAY=:0

it worked for my computer monitor. But

# export DISPLAY=:1

still gives me an error:
mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server: 1

I'll keep looking. If the absence of the "localhost" in my experiment 
above jars any memories, please let me know. And thanks for the replies!
