So it looks like the -X request doesn't get handled by sshd on the other
side, or at least it doesn't listen on a TCP port for you, so your problem
is more foundamental than not having the $DISPLAY set.
Run "sshd -ddd" on a seprate port on Misty and try to connect to it ("-p"
parameter to ssh client).
Be careful to do it that way instead of killing the standard sshd daemon -
read sshd(8) about "-d" carefully before doing that.
On the Local Debian Sid ("Windy"):
That's not relevant, it's the ssh daemn on the other side that's supposed to
listen for new X11 connections and pass them locally when they arrive,
nothing new should listen on the local host for that (the local side of ssh
is just another X11 client in that context).
It's digging like this that teaches you the most about
Linux/networking/tools/debugging methods, so keep digging.
