No...."localhost" means the X-Windows display on the host you are logged into.
Usually you would set the DISPLAY to be the IP address of the workstation you are logged in from. For example your workstation may be 192.168.1.1 and the AIX server you are logged into is 192.168.1.2. In this instance you would set your DISPLAY=192.168.1.1:0
Again, usually the X-Windows emulation software will give you an option to set the DISPLAY variable automatically. Also X-Windows security is important. Again the emulator should sort that for you (look for options using Xauthority or xauth).
