No shell prompt?
To debug, on the client side, run with the '-v' verbose option:
$ ssh -v -C -X remotehost
On the host (sshd/remote) side, look at your logs.

If you're running from a console, X tunneling won't do much (unless you
specify an active display).
If you're tunnelling from an active X session, ssh will figure out the
proper display, remote pseudo display, and tunneling between them.

Looks right, I think that's all that's needed.
