mit-scheme -edwin -edit fails to open a window on X

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mit-scheme

PROBLEM: running mit-scheme in the normal way, with the command line:
 mit-scheme -edwin -edit
causes scheme to run in console-mode only.

This behavior is different from the debian-sarge package, which opens
an emacs-like window on the X server.

Questions: is there a configuration option somewhere that controls this? Or
is scheme attempting to connect to the X Server on $DISPLAY, failing, and
then falling back into console mode? (This is the documented default behavior.)

Testing was performed on Kubuntu 6.06
