Yes, it is completely transparent to everything, and that's the problem. the
X client only has an IP address (as far as it's concerned) to send all packets
of X traffic to. The system will use it's default route to route those
packets. If the system which has been ssh'ed into is not one of the routers
in the path, then X has no idea it's supposed to go through an encrypted
tunnel back to the originating host.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
