        Have you tried turning on X11 forwarding in the "sshd_config" file.
    I have been able to resolve many problems by making the correct changes
    to this file.

    X11Forwarding
               Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted. The
               default is no. Note that disabling X11 forwarding does
               not improve security in any way, as users can always
               install their own forwarders.
