It looks like your ssh is not requesting X forwarding,
regardless of the -X flag.
I get a "debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing."
when I tried "-v -v -X" here, even when it is denied from
the other side.
The lack of the DISPLAY variable also points to this.
Typically, it will be something like lisa:10.
So why is your ssh not asking for X11 forwarding?
Maybe there's an option in your local .ssh config
(personal or /etc/ssh/ssh_config which says not
to ask for X) Or maybe it doesn't know you using
X at the local end. I presume the DISPLAY is exported.
You could try setting it explicitly:
export DISPLAY=desktop1:0
and try again.
