The version of ssh in use in muLinux do not support the -X switch.
You have to edit manually the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config (symlink
to /usr/srv/etc/ssh/ssh_config), enabling X11 forwarding over
a secure RSA channel ( an easy every-day work for MS-Windows :-) ).

But this will work only if you have XWindow active on the client side,
ie. muLinux. You should not manually set DISPLAY, in this case: ssh
set the variable with an higher value, like 10:0.

Usually, this requires an xhost on the client, and (I'm honest) I
do not know if the X-authorization stage is made by ssh or sshd.
If sshd, we have a little problem, because no sshd server in muLinux.
