What you are missing I think, is the env variable display.
With RH 5.1 / Xfree 3.2.2I have never needed this, but at
work Sun Solaris, DEC need the environment variable DISPLAY set
to check your environment variables
#env
returns
PATH=/.....
DISPLAY
etc.
To create a value for DISPLAY
#DISPLAY pcname:0
#export DISPLAY
Do another
#env
to check
To make permanent put these in .profile? as one line
DISPLAY pcname:0 ; export DISPLAY
