It depends. If your SSH software is tunneling the X traffic, then the SSH server may have created a "localhost:10.0" pseudo-display, which will get tunneled to the SSH client, which will use the real X display there. In that case, DISPLAY should be set automatically, and the user should not need to play with it. If you don't wish to use the SSH X-tunneling scheme. then DISPLAY should probably be set to something like "Windows_system:0.0".
