Then virt-manager should work. Sometimes ssh -Y works when ssh -X doesn't. Over time I've started using ssh -Y as it always works. If the server is setup correctly, it will not allow you to ssh as root, you'll need to ssh -Y as yourself and then su -. When you use the su command you might loose the DISPLAY variable, in this case simply re-establish it and all should work. If you workstation is Linux, you have an X-Display running. If it is Windows, you can use Cygwin as your X-Server.
