Oh, I've got remote X working just fine. It's just getting firefox to
actually run on the remote box that's the issue.
Sorry, I'm not a Linux guru and I may be off centre here, but ssh -X
remote.domain then at command prompt firefox opens up firefox on my
remote machine or gedit opens gedit or xxxx opens whatever X app.
Running bog standard CentOS 4.3 with no extra repos and all updates.

Try ssh into the remote machine. Open an xterm as with "xterm -display
<your localhost:0> . At that point, you can open any X based
application from the remote machine you wish from that xterm. You must
enable the local machine in the remote host's xhost file, and it has to
be done from local. You cannot add an xhost via remote. This has worked
for me with no issues at all.
