Probably you are running X with the
-nolisten tcp
option. This prevent any host (localhost included) from exportin the display.
Consider this is the default in debian (xdm/kdm/gdm)
Just go in /etc/X11/[xkg]dm/Xservers and remove that option

If you both share the same ~/.Xauthority file, then it should be fine.
or you can merge your xauthority files - give each other read access and
do
xauth merge ~user1/.Xauthority (as user2)
and
xauth merge ~user2/.Xauthority (as user1)
that should do it for you
