How are you starting these programs?  Are you running them off the 
remote machine?  Is the $DISPLAY set to the local system:10.0?  If 
traffic isn't going over the SSH tunnel, you are either: 1.) not 
running the process remotely or 2.) exporting the remote process over X 
instead of the SSH tunnel.
