Clearly you found the Debian defaults for switching off X11. An obscure hint, probably, but I got caught out because my laptop had a different (constant) hostname to the name I was connecting with, because of different environments. I.e., my laptop is called 'incubus', whilst I was connecting to it as baker-st because it was on a foreign network. This spooked ssh. I have to set the hostname a/c to the DNS lookup, it seems for this --- although everything else was happy... Mx.
