   Even the fact that you can test for the DISPLAY variable in files   
   like .profile or .bashrc does not mean that they are a good choice for   
   starting X applications. Better choices would be .xinitrc, .xsessionrc or   
   any autostart functionality of your desktop environment.   
      
   Your .bashrc will be run every time you start a new bash, this includes   
   every time you open a new terminal.   
      
   Also your .profile will be run every time you open a new terminal if the   
   terminal is configured to run as a login shell.   
      
   Would you want a new pair of xeyes for every terminal that you open?
