Thanks to all! It worked both ways -
1. I turned off -nolisten tcp
2. I turned on X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

Needless to say I finally chose the second option.

My wife will be happy, I will stop bugging her because I can do almost any \
administrative and debugging work on the desktop without physically taking a seat at \
her computer :)
