What command line are you using?
$ ssh -Y server
should suffice.
On my desktop
/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc has the ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten TCP commented out
Not necessary.
/etc/ssh/ssh_config specifies X11Forwarding as yes
/etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server also allows X11Forwarding
Good.
I have run xhost during start up, so the server is an allowed connector
to my display.
Not necessary.
In fact the point of using ssh is to not have to open up your X-server
other than to localhost. Check the setup of your ssh server. The ssh
server needs to create a "virtual" X display on the box you ar ssh-ing
into, and forward that through to your real display. Then the name of
that virtual display (e.g. localhost:10.0) needs to be allowed into the
environment on the box you are ssh-ing into. Check the manual
sshd_config(5).
