    I believe you need to specify -X to ssh to forward "X".

    Your entire email isn't clear to me, so please excuse me if my reply is a
    little off.

    On my systems, to make X forwarding work, I modify the sshd_config file to
    contain:
    X11Forwarding yes

    On the system making use of the server, I ssh into as follows:
    ssh servername.ualberta.ca -X
    and it isn't necessary to manually set the display.
