  You need to set the configuration on your *local* machine, and use
  the correct configuration variable ;-).

  Here's an example: Me and my X server resides on gbr.newt.com. Let's
  say I want to do something like "ssh fencepost.gnu.org xterm", then
  the proper lines for ~/.ssh/config would be:

    Host *gnu.org
        ForwardX11 yes
