The idea of using ssh for X11 forwarding is that the server thinks
it's talking to localhost, the client thinks connections are coming
from localhost, and ssh manages the tunnelling between the two. ssh
will automatically set the server-side DISPLAY to the appropriate
value.
The method you're describing is for a non-ssh (insecure, uncompressed)
remote display.
