   Here you should run another program like xterm or xclock just to be
   sure you can open a display. It looks like your doing everything ok
   as far as the display goes though.

    I have a guess that your not getting your enviornment variables setup
    correctly. So check your .login and or .profile and or .cshrc for 
    conditional statements changing things if your loging in remotely.
    You can manually execute these files for your current session using
    the source command i.e. source .login

Hope this helps,
