1) On the box that has the ssh client, issue command 'xhost +'
2) When sshing to remote use 'ssh -CX2 user at remote'

Once you get logged in, type xterm and see if you get and xterm on your

Could be that the interfaces are not up before 'mount -a' is called. 
Maybe SuSe does not support the mounting of nfs at boot.  If this is the
