Why is $DISPLAY wrong? (was: copying and pasting in the terminal window?)

I think you have either installed the wrong one or have DISPLAY set wrong.

Of course $DISPLAY is set wrong. /etc/prodile.d/qt3.3.sh sets it unconditionally to 127.0.0.1:0, which also breaks 'ssh -X'. Anyone know *why* it's doing this?


Can it be fixed? (I assume this comes from a qt package ;-) but I don't know who maintains those.)

'[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0' seems to work better.
