Note that 'ssh somewhere something' doesn't have much to do with nx, and:
   x-forwarding has a config file option that the command line overrides
   some things need -Y instead of -X (still don't understand what/why)
   double quotes let $DISPLAY expand locally

try:
ssh -Y <remote-host> 'echo $DISPLAY'
