I am connecting with xwin32. I have a unix window on my winbox, but what I want is the IP address in unix when the window comes up, so I could simply set the variable in .profile with a DISPLAY=$ipaddress:0.0 export DISPLAY I know xwin32 is capable of ssh, but I do not believe I am running it. If it is necessary to run ssh to do it, then it might prove difficult, because whenever I've run ssh it really slows things down and I think that would be poor performance when I need graphics. No?
