Not the problem I thought it might be.  This looks OK.

Something else must be.

Even via an intermediary box, they display definitly shouldn't point back
to the local :0 server.  You checked this via printenv?  Try manually
setting it to "localhost:10" and try something simple, like xlogo.  That
should work.  If it does, you need to track down what is messing with your
DISPLAY variable.
