How do I know what's the no. chosen by SSH and how do I set this in my
DISPLAY env variable if this no. is always changing with each ssh logon?

Further test have shown that I am able to run the application fine if I
am logon as root.
I also checked if the DISPLAY was set correctly in root, but found that
it is also not set.
Anything else I should be checking?
