When I set the DISPLAY variable to 0:0 I get the same result as Markus
and David Koppelman. If the DISPLAY variable is either set to `X-hostname`:0.0
(that's what I always use) or localhost:0.0 (as long as we're on the X-server),
than everything's fine. David Koppelman just sent me email that it also
works for him when the DISPLAY var is set properly.
