On my side in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config (that is for the client)
ForwardX11 yes
that way you dont have to say ssh -X bla bla
on the other side in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config (that is for the server)
X11Forwarding yes

Then I allow via firestarter on the server incoming connections on "the" 
ssh port. Whatever that is for you. Normally 22.

That is is.
No other incoming or outgoing ports are needed on the server for
the firestarter gui to work that way.

Hope it works.
