I rely more on where I'm logging into when automating my DISPLAY variable...
I assume that the parsed output of ipconfig might be incorrect in some
instances (for instance when I VPN to work and ipconfig display more than
one IP). The output of "who am I" on the box you log into usually gives a
good address.
I put various if/else statements in my .bashrc and .cshrc on the boxes that
I log into that end up invoking this:
export DISPLAY=`who am i | sed -e 's/.*(\(.*\)).*/\1/'`:0.0
-Abe

To set the environment variable DISPLAY for XFree I use the following
command
export DISPLAY=`\
ipconfig | grep 'IP-Adresse' | \
sed 's/\(.*: \)\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\2/g'`:0.0
'IP-Adresse' must be replaced with the proper version according to you
language.
