slightly off topic: remotely displaying Mac OS X applications
I changed the display variable with the command "setenv DISPLAY xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0" (OS X's tcsh doesn't use set/export commands). I
added
the host to the list of allowed hosts by running xhost. I've successfully launched remote applications on another computer that have appeared on my screen, so the steps should be the right ones...

in my X server. Any ideas as to why this happened?
How did you change the DISPLAY variable? Did you forget to export it? Probably your X server will not allow apps on another machine to use your display (that is generally how X servers are set up).
It is much easier to run remote X applications using ssh, which will handle them automagically, but if you can't use ssh, there is a Remote-X-Apps-mini-HOWTO that covers the details of X security.
If you have the howtos installed, it is probably on your machine, or you can look here:
