Do you have X authorization on the machine at 192.168.60.46 ?  It sounds
like its failing due to lack of X authorization.

Heres the sequence I use:

  [ed at XXX ~]$ xhost +YYY                 <=- or "xhost +"
  [ed at XXX ~]$ ssh YYY                    <=- or "telnet YYY"
  [ed at YYY ~]$ setenv DISPLAY XXX:0.0
  [ed at YYY ~]$ xeyes
