The default Debian ssh_config (not sshd_config) turns off X11
Forwarding.  To fix this, edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and change the
"ForwardX11 no" to "ForwardX11 yes".

You also need to make sure the sshd on the server you're connecting to
allows X11 forwarding.  This is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (on Debian) and
is the line "X11Forwarding yes".
