I've just restarted pidgin from a window that I opened here from work.
Now it works here, but it doesn't work from home. 

So now I'm setting the display variable to :0.0 and I'm running
purple-remote on the machine that I want to control. What else do I
need to set to be able to control the pidgin on the local machine?

Q: It doesn't work. A: Look buddy, doesn't work is an ambiguous statement. 
Does it sit on the couch all day? Is it unemployed? Please be specific!
