This bug affected me on Lucid as well.

$ grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config

The only setting I needed to change was to set SSH_OPTS=-4 in /etc/defaults/ssh
and /etc/init.d/ssh restart.
Then I logged out and logged in again, and
 echo $DISPLAY
 localhost:10

I was connecting from a Mac running OSX 10.6.4 with the stock apple X11 and xterm.
