I don't understand X well enough to comment.
If I type "firefox" after ssh -X, it runs local firefox!
Something goes horribly wrong between local and remote distinction.

(I have to type "firefox --no-remote" to make sure its the remote
firefox.)

However, I also find if I am running two different versions of Linux
with different icons, then using remotely running IDE to open a file
manually, I find the icons and dialog box takes on characteristics of
remote machine. As if the remote window manager is doing all the work.
