adding the unix socket won't help any.  :)  you need to add it as
"kepler.graphics-muse.org:0" and set your display to the exact same
thing.

(sorry for the "grep $DISPLAY" stupidity, i couldn't think of a better
way to do it....)

i usually just look for "foo.bar.org:0" and cut-n-paste that line.

i'm beginning to wonder if your X server is configured to listen to
TCP at all -- if it's using just unix domain sockets, i'm not sure
that sshd is clever enough to redirect that, and it would obviously
explain why xhost/xauth isn't giving you any joy either.

see above.  it wouldn't surprise me if the TCP listening socket was
turned off by default....
