Since you're using ssh, you might as well enable X11 Forwarding. Then it
automatically sets up the DISPLAY var, and tunnels X traffic through the
encrypted channel.

Is odin in /etc/hosts (or dns) on thinkpad? Is it resovling?

You have to enable X11 Forwarding with both the client and the server.
Server side:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
Client side:
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
ForwardX11 yes
Hope that helps
