Good point. I'd forgotten that.
If your networks are in direct proximate contact, then exporting your
DISPLAY variable means that X sessions are being exported over a direct
link -- not through your SSH tunnel.
I'd look at two things.
1. If ssh is setting up the tunnel properly, it should be creating, on
the *remote* side, an X socket under /tmp/.X11-unix, usually with a
high number, say X64, or so. If this doesn't exist, your X11
forwarding is *not* being properly initialized.
2. Run ssh with the following arguments:
$ ssh -X -v remotehost
...the '-v' flag specifies verbose output. Look to see what
happens to your X11 forward request. I suspect it's being denied.
Cheers.
