On the client, $DISPLAY is always ":0" (short for localhost:0). So you
do, on the shell screen:

DISPLAY=:0 some-vnc-command

...and some-vnc-command will pop up whatever needs X on the graphical
screen. You might need to do "xhost +" from within the X session before
this (while figuring it out, it is possible to work around that, but for
now we're just hackign).
