I believe that some time ago X forwarding was disabled by default in
ssh.
Try "ssh -X".
You may want to put this in our .bashrc:
alias ssh='ssh -X'
Just be aware that the change was made bewcause X forwarding was
considered a security risk...
Or at least, this is what I remember. Someone please correct me if I'm
wrong.
