try using -v for verbose. it will tell you if X forwarding
was accepted by the remote host or not. it can also tell you
if there is some other error. a common problem i have when
loading some X apps over SSH is that i get an authentication
mismatch(i think thats the error), whats even weirder is it
works with some apps but not others..and only on certain hosts
do i get the error.
