Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment v
ariable
Error in startup script: invalid command name "image"
while executing
"image create bitmap dnarw -data {
#define down_arrow_width 15
#define down_arrow_height 15
static char down_arrow_bits[] = {

If you are connected though the server console, then do:

export DISPLAY=0.0.0.0:0.0
or
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.0:0.0

If you telnet into the server:
1) You need an X-Windows session.
2) Figure out your IP address (On windows client START>RUN>CMD and type ipconfig to get the address).
3) In telnet session type:

export DISPLAY=111.22.333.44:0.0
where 111.22.333.44 is your IP address.
