Try this command:
echo $DISPLAY
This will tell you what display the X programs are connecting to. This
should be an SSH tunnel, something like:
:10.0
A good program to test if everything is working is "xlogo", very simple
but connects over the X11 protocol.
Also, I'd stress that "xhost +" is ONLY for debugging. SSH should set
up the permissions so that this isn't necessary, it's a significant
security issue to leave that open regularly.
