This is what I was doing in pre-historic time -- before the ssh was 
introduced ;^)
Tried from Mac OS leopard -- can not setup DISPLAY variable either...

Yes, I have X running in Cygwin and from Cygwin xterm I just run ssh -Y 
<solaris10box>

typed in

echo $DISPLAY
and got

localhost:10.0

and that does not work on SL
It stopped working on Solaris 10 in July, but I removed the security 
patch 126133-03 after some googling and can run Xapplications remotely.
