Here's my hack to set the DISPLAY environment on the remote machine:

	rsh -n machine_name "setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0.0; xprogram" &

I can't use $DISPLAY since mine is set to unix:0.0 to speed up the
display on my machine.  I suppose this would break if you had more
than one screen on your machine.  I'm running X on a SparcStation.
