Thanks, David, that was the problem entirely. Here is what I had to
do:
1. On machine 1: edit /etc/sshd_config : Change to X11_Forwarding
yes
2. reboot machine 1 (sshd needs to restart, and the cleanest way was
a reboot)
3. remove any DISPLAY setting in my .bash_profile on machine 1
4. from machine 2 ssh -X me@machine1
then I am up and runnning.
I have since edited my .ssh/config to automatically use X11Forwarding
when
going to machine 1

Are you certain that you're not simply overriding the sshd-set $DISPLAY
with an arbitrary ":0" in the .cshrc or .login on the other iBook?
It's entirely possible that sshd is properly setting DISPLAY when you
log
in to the other machine and then your login scripts are blowing that
away.
If setting DISPLAY to localhost:10 works, then it's not an sshd_config
issue, since ssh *is* managing to properly set up the tunneling. It's
also not a guarantee that :10 will be the local port.
