I like remote managing my server using ssh -X or ssh -Y and then running gui
apps sometimes.

I've check workstation and server X11Forwarding yes and then restarted sshd
so don't know where else to go.

I've checked the logs and there's nothing about it. The error I get is:

[root mail root]# system-config-printer
system-config-printer: could not open display
This is a graphical application and requires DISPLAY to be set.

or:

[karlp mail ~/]$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set

Of course, the obvious is to set $DISPLAY, which doesn't work either.


Any ideas where to go next?

On the ssh client:
$ xhost +<sshServer>

No joy. echo $DISPLAY still shows a blank line.
