I don't think this is the answer either. I ssh in and there is X11
forwarding when that happens. This means that you can start a remote
X application that way. If this was someone who was unfamiliar with X11
forwarding or new to the OS then they wouldn't even think of unsetting
DISPLAY. I'm not the only one that this has happened to. Someone emailed
me and the list earlier that confirms this happening.
