Don't use xhost unless you know exactly what you do. Using
xhost +ip_remote_host
will allow that machine to connect to your X server on your machine. If
you use X over ssh, that is not necessary.

ssh should set the DISPLAY itself. Don't set the DISPLAY manually to
your host. This could result in the application trying to connect to
your local_host outside of the ssh connection, which is not what you
want, because that would be unencrypted, and your X server probably
doesn't even listen on the network. Let ssh set the DISPLAY.
