When you log into your wife's computer, do a simple "echo $DISPLAY". You
should get something like "localhost:10.0" or something back. If you get
nothing, then you should check /etc/ssh/sshd_config (or the files in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config.d) on your wife's computer and verify that you have
"X11Forwarding yes" set. If not (it's disabled by default), set it and
restart sshd on your wife's computer.

There's also "ForwardX11Trusted" for use with "ssh -Y" and I believe
that's enabled by default on F27 (haven't installed F27 yet).
