Bug Description
Since a couple of days, X11 forwarding over SSH no longer works in Gutsy.
When connecting to several other hosts all running Debian Etch, I correctly see the DISPLAY environment variable has been set and applications indeed send their X output to the connecting host.
When connecting to this Gutsy host, the DISPLAY environment variable is empty, which obviously means that X11 forwarding will fail. This wasn't the case until a few days ago.

Are you sure X11 forwarding is enabled? Check:
sudo grep X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/ sshd_config
