Christopher Faylor suggested that I try:
DISPLAY=:0 xterm&
This immediately failed with error 53 (after hitting return twice). The
exact same thing occurred in attempting to run xclock (DISPLAY=:0
xclock&). I am not sure what error 53 is (or where it is coming from
- xterm or the shell - or).
$ net helpmsg 53
The network path was not found.
Sounds to me like other software is getting in your way (anti-virus,
firewall, etc.)
