Tong, I don't believe there's a way to do what you're looking to do using ssh X forwarding. When you're using ssh X forwarding, you're able to pull back the display of a client application, but you're not able to "push out" the display of a local application. You will likely have to investigate the route that Andrei is implying -- opening the X server on the remote machine to connections from the network and then exporting the display of your local X client to the remote display without the benefit of ssh X forwarding. That said, if someone else knows a way to do it, I'm open to correction. I've just never heard of it.
