When it fails, run the test yourself, 'echo $DISPLAY'.  If it's unset,
then that line doesn't match.  It looks like cacaview wants an X server
to display on.  I just ssh -X here, and let display do it.  It can be
tedious if I'm on a slow link, but Iususally just don't bother until I'm
on a better one.
