DISPLAY environment setting...

Can someone explain to me a problem I am having.

After I launch my X server and set my DISPLAY=:0.0  I am unable to 
launch any X programs (xterm, etc...)

However when I set my DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0, I am able to launch programs 
just fine.  What would cause the DISPLAY=:0.0 not to work?  This works 
just fine for example on a Redhat box.


Thanks in advance,

Michael Frey
