You could try to use wireshark and/or tcpdump to dump and ana-
lyze what's going on on the connection on the ssh server side.
In fact, DISPLAY localhost:10.0 points to ad-
dress/port 127.0.0.1:6010 , which could be easily captured.
Also, the Debian distribution contains debugging symbols for
xorg X server and most of it's drivers. Analyzing the internals
of X server with gdb is really easy when using them.
Just beware, that gdb stops process it attach to -- therefore it
is not reasonably to do that from client of that X server (or,
sometimes it is, when all is done by some script, but you should
have a reasonable way to quit gdb).
