Yes!  Check that both ends of the SSH connection have X enabled.  On the
server /etc/ssh/ssd_config should have the line:

  X11Forwarding yes

On the client you can either use ssh -X to connect or put lines like the
following in either /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config:

  Host remote.example.org
    ForwardX11 yes
