Is $DISPLAY set on the client before you run ssh -X?

You shouldn't need to set DISPLAY on the server.

Maybe the problem is on the server side... Please run the server in debug mode:
("/path/to/sshd -ddde -p 2022" on the server then connect with "ssh -X -p 2022
yoursever") and attach the debug output from sshd.
