It means your machine does not allow the host (or perhaps > anyone else) to display a window on your screen. Yes his host does not allow the remote system to display a window on his screen. That's why he wants to use the X forwarding feature of SSH to achieve his goal in a secure manner. When forwarded the X connection appears as a local one to the X server and thus does not require specific privilege.
