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.

                                                           Sean

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.
