First of all, shoot the programmer, of course...

Use the X11DisplayOffset parameter in the sshd_config file. Use 1
instead of 10, which is the default. If you manage to be the first
person to connect to this host using SSH with X forwarding, you get
<host>:1.0. This is not entirely reliable... :-)

Better yet, you could also use the Low Bandwidth X Proxy (lbxproxy) to
proxy :1.0 to whatever your current DISPLAY is, regardless of whether
you use SSH for the purpose. If you use the -nolbx parameter, it won't
try to optimise the traffic at all but will still proxy for you.
