A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I submitted a bug against being able to set and get the
DISPLAY information about the X11 server.

Any AWT initialization automatically tries to connect to an
X11 server. This needs to have the DISPLAY environment
variable set.

My request is for a way to tell the AWT which X11 server to
connect to, with out using the DISPLAY environment variable.
We need a way to direct the AWT programatically, with a
setDisplay( host:screen ) call on the AWT toolkit, graphics
environment, or something.

I have not heard any information on a work around besides
setting the DISPLAY environment variable manually before
running my java application. This work around is not
enough.This is a major bug in application development.

Thank you.

This bug can be reproduced always.
