Seems like there have been too many answers to this already.
You do _not_ need to change _any_ firewall settings to use X11 through
ssh if ssh is already working. That's the whole idea of X11 forwarding
in ssh -- everything will go through your ssh session on port 22.
It is a _bad_ idea to open ports 6000-60xx and connect directly through
this. Anybody listening to you connecting will see all key presses in
clear text. Just think of, what this means when you enter passwords.
BTW: Using X11 forward in ssh saves you a lot of trouble setting things
up.
