There's really not much you need to install. Minimal install + xauth + gedit
and I'd have thought you were there. xauth is the important bit that you can
accidentally miss off. You just need to check for ssh X forwarding working.
ssh -Y to your server and "echo $DISPLAY". If it's not defined, you've got a
problem.
