xterm Xt error: Can't open display:


This used to work until about a month or two ago, when I upgraded my ssh.
I'm trying to open an xwindow showing my linux box's client.

>From my XP computer I do the following (using a script)
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
eval `ssh-agent`
rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix
XWin -screen 0 1024 768 &
ssh -X -l chris gecko

This starts an X server just fine, and starts an ssh session with a (gentoo)
linux box (named gecko).
so far so good.
This is what comes at the ssh session:

chris@gecko's password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Last login: Tue Dec  9 12:29:56 2003 from 192.168.1.23
chris@gecko chris $ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
chris@gecko chris $


So I log in fine, it gives me a warning (which from other posts I've read
seems to be not important) but is not able to open the display.
I try exporting my display to 192.168.1.23:0.0 and 192.168.1.23:0.1 and it
returns :


chris@gecko chris $ Xlib: connection to "192.168.1.23:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.23:0.0


and the like.  This used to work.  Does anyone have any idea what is going
wrong?
