Then I connect to remote linux host and export display variable:
ssh -Y some_host
export DISPLAY=:0.0
When I try to run xclock everything seems to work (there is no error on remote host), but nothing appears locally:
$ xclock &
[1] 28392
What could be wrong?
UPD it appeared that xclock attached to remote x server, not my local. Its window was visible when I logged physically to remote computer (not via ssh).
