That's the idea . . .

Most distros seem to default to "Trusted" X11 forwarding with -X,
because it breaks too many programs.



To run an xterm, TrustedX11 isn't needed anyway . . .
        (not on OpenSuse or Centos anyway)

My reason for ALWAYS using "double-quoted" in sessions
like this is because I've previously had issues with remote
users miss-reading 'quoted' as:-

        `quoted`
        ,quoted,  and even
        `quoted,

during remote support sessions . . .

. . whereas "this" is difficult to mess up
and
the ""confuse-r-user"" coefficient is much reduced
there-by restoring korma to the universe . . . 


In this case I recommend :-

        ssh -X a.b.c.d "echo \$DISPLAY"

etc.
