Using X forwarding with screen by proxying $DISPLAY

If you’re reading this blog, I probably don’t have to explain why I love GNU screen. I can keep a long-running session going on a server somewhere, and log in and resume my session without losing any state. I also love X-forwarding. I love being able to log into a remote server and work in a shell there, but still pop up graphical windows (for instance, gitk’s) on my local machine when I need to.
