[Mun]  Bottom line is I need for the GUI application to open in the user's VNC 
session.  It seems that unless I set DISPLAY to the "appropriate" localhost:# 
from within the wrapper script which makes the qsub call, that I cannot 
accomplish that goal.  Therefore, I need some way of setting the DISPLAY env 
var correctly.  Unless there is some other way for me to accomplish my goal?
