If you view a vncsession from the solaris-box, you can open a terminal in there 
and see its $DISPLAY value (`echo $DISPLAY`). Set that at your aix prompt. You 
might need to open the 'solaris' display with `xhost +` (this is for all, see 
`man xhost` for details).

If the $DISPLAY has the form of ":1" or ":1.0" or "localhost:1" or 
"localhost:1.0" then update it to reflect "<machine>:1".
