| 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.
