I assume you're connecting from another 'nix boxen? When I run an Xwindows service on my winbloze craptop, and connect to my local workstation, I have to "export DISPLAY=192.168.42.42:0.0" in the command shell, where 42.42 is the LAN address of the craptop, and I'm typing this into a bash shell, the ssh session onto my workstation. I'm still kinda confused about when setting the DISPLAY env var is required; I never have to do it with a remote machine (via WAN), but sometimes have to do it over my LAN -- I think it is from windoze, IIRC.
