Make sure you have xbase-clients installed (which contains xauth, etc),
make sure that the sshd_config file (normally /etc/ssh/sshd_config on
debian) has "X11Forwarding yes" turned on.
Restart ssh, log out, log back in. Don't forget to turn on the request
for X forwarding by adding -X (capital X) to your command line, such as:
ssh -X user at host
Theoretically, this "should" do the trick. 8)
