I was using a dxssh script,

---------
#!/bin/sh
#

exec ssh -C -L 4000:127.0.0.1:4000 "$@"
---------

4000 is the default dxpc TCP port. The connection sequences (as far as I
remember) was

1. dxssh <remote machine>

2. On remote, dxpc -f

3. Use ~ followed by ^Z to stop the ssh process (~ is the ssh escape
character. It has to be the first character of a new line. If the
first attempt to background ssh doesn't work, press enter and try
again).

4. On local, dxpc -f 127.0.0.1

5. Continue the ssh session with fg.

6. On remote, export DISPLAY=:8 (or DISPLAY=unix:8 according to the
documentation).
