This is DUMB, but I can't seem to be able to export my $DISPLAY.

Reason :
X is running on Laptop. Evo is running.

Objective:
SSH into Machine. (since I can't connect to :0, vino server is not
running) I want to shut down Evo remotely. I don't want to kill the
process, I want to use "evolution-1.4 --force-shutdown", but that
doesn't work since it complains about the $DISPLAY.

$xauth list 
localhost.localdomain/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 
dc9f51a9b94a6c4b94a9dbfXXXXXXX

$setenv $DISPLAY localhost.localdomain/unix:0

setenv not found

Help?
