The problem is that you're running startx. This, as you've found out, starts the X-server on the remote machine. The server/client relationship is X is reverse to what you expect. Startx on your local machine and open an xterm. Ssh to the remote machine with "ssh -X name_of_remote" Start a remote X client such as "xlogo". The display should appear locally though the application is running remotely. You don't need to run startx on the remote. THe only requirement is that you have the X libraries installed.
