   Why not? Ssh X11 forwarding will accept X traffic on something like   
   localhost:11 on machine B where the sshd process accepts tcp connections   
   to port localhost:6011. That traffic will then be forwarded through the   
   ssh tunnel where the ssh process connects to DISPLAY :1 om machine A.
