    it should work, check the sshd configuration on system C, make sure that
    it is configured to allow X forwarding (sshd_config option
    "X11Forwarding yes") I suspect that it currently not enabled.

    If it still does not work, try again with the "-v" (verbosity level 1)
    or "-vv" (verbosity level 2) option to see if it reports any errors in
    regards to X forwarding.
