A possible alternative to the problems with the DISPLAY variable taking on other values - arrange for your .xinitrc file to place the DISPLAY variable in a file like '.x11appdisplay' in your home directory, and parse its contents if the X11.app is found to be running on the start of a shell. I'll leave the details of this as an exercise for the reader based on other posted scripts!
