Correct. This is what I see:
NitroPhys$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
NitroPhys$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:0.0
NitroPhys$ vmware
Setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp.
VMware Workstation Error:
Cannot open display.
Failed to initialize user interface.
Press "Enter" to continue...
NitroPhys$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0
NitroPhys$
Nothing but :0.0 allows me any connection to the server.

So depending on your shell, if you
setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
or export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
and type "xterm" you get permission denied? OR
another error, suggesting localhost is not in /etc/hosts?
I'm not up on the Xserver security settings so I don't
know why it would fail... sigh.
