In my server I have the following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10


Then from the client I call the server using:

ssh -X servername

which allows X programs to display on the calling machine.

This is not a remote X session, just a remote X display.

ssh -X -l username servername

creates a login as username.
