    What's this X server "(null)" business? When you tunnel through ssh
    your display is usually something like ":10" and the DISPLAY environment
    variable is set accordingly. Apparently your application isn't looking
    at DISPLAY. Is there a way to tell it what server to use on the
    command line?
