Thank you to all who replied. I changed "ForwardX11 no" to "ForwardX11 yes" in the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" file of "Ultra-headless" and I could open a "xclock" on my "Ultra-desktop" with the commad "ssh -X -v -l <my_user_name> Ultra-headless xclock". The ".Xauthority"-file of the X-server was automatically generated in my home-directory. But there is one nasty thing: When I close the "xclock"-application the window on my "Ultra1-desktop" is not released. Instead I get the message: debug1: channel_free: channel 1: status: The following connections are open: #1 x11 (t4 r2 i8/0 o128/0 fd 9/9) Of course, I can close the connection manually, but I am convinced there is a better solution for this.
