sshd_config:
# X11 tunneling options
X11Forwarding yes
# Port forwarding
AllowTcpForwarding yes
# Valid options are yes, without-password, no.
PermitRootLogin yes

Then restart:
/etc/init.d/sshd (stop & start)

Then to login:
ssh -X -l root host.remote.com

The -X will forward any X11 commands back to your local display.
