Once you know it works, you can make it permanent by adding
"ForwardX11 yes" to your ~/.ssh/config file. If you want to limit it to 
just 1 host, try something like this in ~/.ssh/config, replacing the 
example remote host with something more interesting:

    Host remotehost.example.com
      ForwardX11 yes
      Compression yes
      ServerAliveInterval 300

I add those last 2 lines for hosts that are on slow connections which 
are prone to timeouts.
