This is incorrect. ssh doesn't require tcp-enabled X server. It does
the Xforwarding (within the ssh connection which is tcp) - and locally
talks with the Xserver via unix sockets.

for eg: after 'ssh remote-machine xterm' - I get:

# netstat -p |grep ssh
unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED     127201 912/ssh
