X11 applications look at the DISPLAY environment variable to figure
out where to well, display..  Your Xserver has access control that is
automagically sorted out for you by your desktop session or ssh
client.   It will be a little complicated having your Apache user be
able to securely access your X server.

"DISPLAY environment variable", "xauth", and "x11 forwarding"  might
be some good background.
