This is fairly simple stuff but it took me 15 minutes to solve because i was missing a package 
So i thought i would write a quick article here we go X11 forwarding with ssh. This should work on any Linux distribution unless ssh has me built without the support for X forwarding. Which as far as i know is uncommon.
1. Install xauth with your package manager for ubuntu/debian do
aptitude install xauth
2. Edit the sshd_config on the server you want to start the X program from
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
3. Add the following to your sshd_config file on the server
X11Forwarding yes
4. Restart the ssh server
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
5. Edit the ssh_config on the client (this could also be in your home directory under .ssh/config)
vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config
6. Add the following to your ssh_config file on the client
ForwardX11 yes
7. Connect to the server with ssh
ssh user@host
8. You can also use ssh -X user@host Which switches on X Forwarding for the single connection. We don’t need this option because we set it permanently in the ssh_config on the client.
