try DISPLAY=:0.0   ( localhost is optional for localhost:0.0
or  DISPLAY=remote:0.0

	0.1 or was it 1.0 if you have a dual-monitor rig
	or with xinerama, it wont matter

remote#  xhost +localhost  -- or --
remote#  xhost +other-pc

when using "your pc" to login into the "remote pc", use ssh 
and nothing silly like telnet/ftp

i think no space after the "+"

xhost will also list what hosts it allows to connect to it from afar
