Hmm, well trying DISPLAY=:0 through =:4 didn't work, but running it through xterm instead of "konsole" (lol) worked fine, AND the write problem was solved. So note going forward, don't bother with kde's terminal lol.
Do me a favour if you don't mind and 'echo $DISPLAY' in xterm so I can get some data on why it didn't work the other way?

Excellent, that is helpful since it at least tells me the problem wasn't as simple as "picked the wrong display". Anyway, glad I could help.
