I'm a terrible X user, though I can program a thing or two :)  Any
particular reason why you set DISPLAY to my_pc:0 rather than my_pc:0.0?  I
was always under the impression that you were suppused to give both the
display number and the screen number; at least, that's what I have always
done, and it has always worked...
