I just tried this. On my local machine I typed

xhost +addressofremotemachine
ssh -X remotemachine -l myname

xv test.jpg

And I get the following error:

% xv test.jpg
channel 0: istate 4 != open
channel 0: ostate 64 != open
X connection to eeyore1:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


Do I need to do something else?
My local machine is behind a firewall.

Thanks
