X forwarding changes:

Browse Source 
- new function platform_get_x_display() to find a sensible local display.
   On Unix, the Gtk apps weren't taking account of --display when
   determining where to send forwarded X traffic.
 - explicitly document that leaving X display location blank in config tries
   to do something sensible (and that it's now blank by default)
 - don't override X11Display setting in plink, since that's more properly
   done later

To enable X11 forwarding, check the \q{Enable X11 forwarding} box.
If your X display is not the primary display on your local machine
(which it almost certainly will be unless you have deliberately
arranged otherwise), you need to enter its location in the \q{X
display location} box.
If your X display is somewhere unusual, you will need to enter its
location in the \q{X display location} box; if this is left blank,
PuTTY try to find a sensible default in the environment, or use the
primary local display (\c{:0}) if that fails.
