I'm not even sure PAM is called. None the less, I see the same on both
the working machine and the non-working machine:

root@dragon:~# grep DISPLAY /etc/security/*
/etc/security/pam_env.conf:# Set the DISPLAY variable if it seems reasonable 
/etc/security/pam_env.conf:#DISPLAY             DEFAULT=${REMOTEHOST}:0.0 
OVERRIDE=${DISPLAY}
root@dragon:~#
