the solaris fails with:

[12:38:09][dprice at densorafin:~]$ export DISPLAY=192.168.60.46:0.0
[12:38:19][dprice at densorafin:~]$ echo $DISPLAY                   
192.168.60.46:0.0
[12:38:22][dprice at densorafin:~]$ lprngtool
Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display "192.168.60.46:0.0"

but I can telnet into my system at that IP... I know, but the solaris
has no ssh yet ...

aloha,
