Your log looks fine, no problems there.

That's a very different problem.
After you login to the remote machine execute "echo $DISPLAY", it usually is
wrong or at least that is my experience when using "ssh -X user@remotehost" to a
Solaris server... I even put into the remote machine's .bashrc :
if [ $TERM = 'rxvt' ]; then
TERM=xterm; export TERM
fi
if [ $TERM = 'xterm' ]; then
DISPLAY=`who am i | cut -f2 -d'(' | cut -f1 -d')'`:0.0; export DISPLAY
fi
Test it before you use it; as I said this was for a Solaris server (which didn't
know what a rxvt term was), it may not work on other Unix version.
