RE: startxwin/XWin won't start properly
I don't see any difference if I set DISPLAY to :0.0 or 127.0.0.1:0.0. However, in the past its only worked if I set to 127.0.0.1:0.0

$DISPLAY is empty over here unless I manually set it. But then, I'm
not sure if it has something to do with your problems, as
127.0.0.1:0.0 points to the first display on localhost, which IMHO
isn't all that wrong. What happens if you set $DISPLAY manually, e.g.
to ":0.0". This always worked fine for me.
