Jeremy,

On my G5 Mac, I have the following lines in a .bash_profile file in my home
directory:

  export GNUTERM=aqua
  export DISPLAY=:0.0

If that, doesn't fix the problem, I suspect you're mixing Fink and non-Fink
applications, and you must really understand where all the files are and
have the correct declarations in your .bash_profile to make that work.
