    If you are tunneling over ssh, be sure to use the "-X" flag of ssh.

    Make sure that on host x.x.x.x you have allowed the Xterm to be displayed
    by doing an xhost +[machine_where_xterm_is_running]

    Also, the X traffic goes through ports in the 6000 range I believe. I'm
    not
    exactly sure but it should be trivial to find out.

    Since you got the "Can't open display..." error I'm thinking your DISPLAY
    variable is already properly set as long as x.x.x.x is the host your want
    to
    display the xterm window on.
