Wait a minute,,, He said he connected by ssh, therefore his X session would not be a remote session but rather a local session.
Read both of the OP's paragraphs. He said he connected by ssh, but also that he'd seen reference to using X - query hostname to get a remote X session, and was interested in making that work.
Still no need to hack X settings, as it STILL will be considdered a LOCAL x session by the remote box (because it sees it as originating from 127.0.0.1.
What does that mean?
Try this ssh -X -T user@some.host.com xterm
Why -T? Why not simply ssh -X user@some.host.com get a shell, and run the apps, with a few more bytes bandwidth not consumed by the superfluous xterm.
