Did you check if X11Forward is enabled on the client side?
Take a look into /etc/ssh_config. After first install, X11
forwarding is disabled. The reason is commented in ssh_config:

	# Be paranoid by default
	Host *
	        ForwardAgent no
	        ForwardX11 no
	        FallBackToRsh no

Just change /etc/ssh_config or add an appropriate line to your
private ~/.ssh/config file.
