You can usualy append --display=:0.0 or --display=:0.1 to the end of the command you use to start the app. |

or prefix it with DISPLAY=:0.0
Such as:
Code: | $ DISPLAY=:0.0 gaim |
That will set the DISPLAY variable for that particular instance.
Actually I have no experience in this, it's just what I read. Good luck.
