SSH X forwarding not working

Greetings. I've looked over the mailing list, but haven't been able to
find out why using
ssh -X remote-host
wouldn't actually let you run X apps on the distant machine (to display
locally). I'm using the absolute latest and greatest Cygwin XFree86
(fetched yesterday).
Any help would be much appreciated.
NOTE: I use startx (I have also tried using xinit) and have added 'export
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0' to my .xinitrc.
Thanks in advance.
chris.
