please try ssh -X remotehost. This turns on X11 Forwarding (please 
note: the option -x _disables_ X11 Forwarding)

You can aso turn on X11 Forwarding in ~/.ssh/config by adding
ForwardX11 yes

If it does still not work, then X11Forwaring may be disabled in 
the server. Either ask your admin to activate it or add 
X11Forwarding yes

to /etc/ssh/sshd_config if you have the sufficient rights.
