I see the same problem, in a repeatable way. I upgraded from 9.04 to
9.10. The ssh server was configured to allow X11 forwarding:
$ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep X11
X11Forwarding yes
X11UseLocalhost yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
When I connect from another machine using the PuTTY ssh client, I can
login just fine, no errors, but the DISPLAY environment variable is not
set. The auth_log shows "error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11
display socket."
