I think my problem is related to yours as well.  Login to a linux brandz zone, 
with X11 forwarding 
and trying to launch my programs fail with hint about "cannot open display".

I have tried to change DISPLAY to Global_zone_IP:0.0 etc, but nothing works.  
This problem began after upgrading to snv_118
