From the IDL online help for WIDGET_BASE:
"DISPLAY_NAME: Set this keyword equal to a string that specifies the name of
the X Windows display on which the base should be displayed. This keyword
has no effect on Microsoft Windows and Macintosh platforms."
For example:
base = widget_base(display_name='mybox.nowhere.org:0')
text = widget_text(base, value='Hello world')
widget_control, base, /realize
Cheers,
Liam.
