Here's what I do:
local machine: ssh -YC username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You might need to have the remotemachine's /etc/ssh/sshd_config
to have the entry in it:
           X11Forwarding yes
uncommented.

The -Y option given to ssh is for the following:

-Y Enables trusted X11 forwarding.  Trusted X11 forwardings are not
     subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.

and the -C is for compression.

Once you have logged in, you can then spawn GUI applications on
remotemachine and have the display show up on local machine.

There could be latency issues, and for that you might want to
investigate the SPICE protocol (available in F14) or freenx.
