iTerm, bookmarks, and X11 forwarding...

OK, so I've recently discovered iTerm and I like it thus far. However, when I try to do the following I run into problems:

I want to set up a bookmark to ssh into a remote machine and use X forwarding so I can run Linux apps on my mac. I try this by setting the bookmark as "ssh -X username@address". However, when I try using this bookmark, the DISPLAY env variable (which gets set in my .profile) for some reason doesn't get set, so the remote machine complains about not knowing the DISPLAY. Any ideas? thanks,

Rok
