Glen -

The X forwarding is part of ssh check the remote box file
/etc/ssh/sshd_config for a line that says X11 forwading and set it to
yes.  I believe the default is not to forward.

then service sshd restart should get it going.

On the client I think the default is ok but you might want to look in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config to see what is in there.  For me this a great
feature of ssh.
