From the ssh man:
If the user is using X11 (the DISPLAY environment variable is set), the
connection to the X11 display is automatically forwarded to the remote
side in such a way that any X11 programs started from the shell (or com
mand) will go through the encrypted channel, and the connection to the
real X server will be made from the local machine. The user should not
manually set DISPLAY. Forwarding of X11 connections can be configured on
the command line or in configuration files.
The DISPLAY value set by ssh will point to the server machine, but with a
display number greater than zero. This is normal, and happens because
ssh creates a ``proxy'' X server on the server machine for forwarding the
connections over the encrypted channel.
If DISPLAY=somehost:0.0 then X apps are NOT forwarding through ssh.
