I use setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0 and then I get sort of the same "Can't open display" message but not immediately as before, but there's a good 20 sec delay in between.

For more info, see man xauth. ok, now %xauth generate :0 . xauth: creating new authority file /home/csaba/.Xauthority xauth: (argv):1: unable to open display ":0". And the .Xauthority file was not created either. i believe the whole xfree does not work correctly on my syste, which is just weird cuz I installed the whole cygwin package which should take care of it.
