I think you need to tinker with /etc/ssh/sshd_config, especially the
option X11Forwarding. IIUC you need to alter ssh_config on the client
side, not server side.

If this doesn't work please also provide error messages from when you
try to start X apps, ssh_config on client and sshd_config on server
side.
