SUMMARY: DISPLAY issue

Thanks to Peter Kunst, Hong Duong, Sean Walmsley, Crist Clark, Matt
Clausen, Mr. D R Hughes, Francisco Roque , John Hallman, and Rodney
Rodgers for responding.  Almost all said to 'xhost +' or 'ssh -X', but
that wasn't the problem (as stated in my original post).  

And the Grammy goes to....    

Sean Walmsley pointed out that Xsun was starting with "-nolisten"
because of options in the service configuration.  He says:

    svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen = true
    svcadm refresh x11-server

I set "options/tcp_listen=true" but couldn't refresh x11-server (no such
service).  Instead, it worked fine once I logged out and then logged
back in.

Don't know what could have changed this in any recent patches.  Can't
remember the last time I *NEEDED* to export DISPLAY, but it used to work
just fine and then it stopped.
