In a bash script, how can I test whether the script itself is being run

'echo $DISPLAY' returns ':0' from Konsole,
but nothing from a raw terminal called up via Ctl-Alt-F2 .
Of the different methods suggested, I like this one best.
This will also be set in ssh sessions with X forwarding turned on. You
might want to check whether you're in one of those as well.
