>Description:
      xterm refuses to honor the command line "-display" argument.
      This is a very handy feature when kicking off xterms via
      scripts and ssh connections and need to be fixed (please;).
>How-To-Repeat:
      unset DISPLAY
      xterm -display somedisplay:0

      This yields a "DISPLAY not set error"
