I'm willing to help however I can.

I would say "gm display" *does* work as I'd expect, though. When I
"gm display -display fu:0.0 someimg" (and there is not a "fu" host),
the display fails as I'd exepct. Otherwise, the display works fine. My
problem seems to be that when I point the ImageInfo->server_name to
a string like "fu:0.0" (in my app, working solely w/ the library), it
appears to have no effect. I can do some code diving into the gm binary
itself and try to get a clue, too.
