Comment (by cjones051073):

 There was a bug in an old base installer that added DISPLAY=:0 when it
 should not have. If you see this in your config files removed.

 DO NOT though manually set DISPLAY to anything else. This is NOT REQUIRED
 and it will be set for you when you start a new shell. The exact socket
 path changes each login so what works in one shell might not in another.
