please try ssh -X remotehost. This turns on X11 Forwarding (please
note: the option -x _disables_ X11 Forwarding)
You can aso turn on X11 Forwarding in ~/.ssh/config by adding
ForwardX11 yes
If it does still not work, then X11Forwaring may be disabled in
the server. Either ask your admin to activate it or add
X11Forwarding yes
to /etc/ssh/sshd_config if you have the sufficient rights.
