Re: x-forwarding with ssh
Try the -v flag to ssh to see what it's trying to do:
ssh -v -X remote.host
this will let you watch the steps ssh is going through to try to debug the
connection.
If the remote host is configured correctly to allow X forwarding, you will
not have to set DISPLAY. Setting DISPLAY to local:0.0 will make the ssh
connection useless, since your X packets will not be tunnelled through it.
