set | grep DISPLAY 
has no output.  

from the original post:
    xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
    xterm:  DISPLAY is not set

*On* the machine 192.168.1.10 (11.4),
  set | grep DISPLAY
  DISPLAY=:0

But ssh'ing (-X) into that machine $DISPLAY is not set.

/etc/ssh/sshd_config contains:   #X11DisplayOffset 10
but, iiuc, that is *default*.  I will change it, uncomment it and try...

same result  :^(
