As an added note to anyone trying to replicate this, for the application to actually open on the "main workstation" computer, that the same VT as used by the terminal (:1 in my example, but can be :0, or anything) must be open on the ssh application client pc (main workstation, in this example) and logged in as the same user. Otherwise, you only get various confusing errors, (either a message about /tmp/.X11-unix/X? file being missing, or Magic cookie failure if not logged in.)
