Try setting the display to :10.0. Even if this doesn't work, it should provide
data on what the problem is. You could also append -vv (yes, 2 v's) to your
ssh command and search for lines relating to x11. This way you'll know if it
is attempting to do forwarding and possibly get useful error messages.

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a
travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way onto un*x
systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist, they survive
as soldiers of fortune. If you share their vision, if you know you can help,
and if you can connect to internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
