Ok, I was actually running ssh with the -X option and it wasn't working then either.
I've noticed that when I ssh to the box in question I get this message: Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding. The display variable is not being set either. Exporting the display variable manually does work, as does xterm -display remote.host:0.0 What I would like though is for X apps to display without having to do this.
