That won't have any effect unless you've started your X server using
"startx -listen_tcp".

No, you shouldn't - ssh should set DISPLAY to something like
"localhost:10.0".  Are you sure you've enabled X forwarding on the
ssh client and sshd?  If you get it working, you won't need to use
xhost or -listen_tcp on your workstation.
