    Tried installing XD2 and it won't go. Here's what I get:

    brooks@84:~> xhost +localhost
    localhost being added to access control list
    brooks@84:~> su
    Password:
    84:/home/brooks # wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com |sh
    ==> Autodetecting system type...
    ==> Checking $DISPLAY and X permissions...

    The Ximian Desktop Installer is a graphical application, and
    either you have no DISPLAY variable set or the root user does not
    have permission to access your X server. Run 'xhost +localhost'
    before becoming root, and make sure that the DISPLAY variable is
    set correctly before running the go-ximian script.

    Cleaning up temporary files... done.

    As you can see, I get this message AFTER I run the 'xhost +localhost' command
    that it suggests. I have no idea how to check whether I have a DISPLAY
    variable set.

    Any ideas?
