Why do you keep messing around with X11UseLocalhost???? Leave it as the default.

From my quick read of man sshd_config, that variable tells ssh (that is the local client) whether it should bind to the local X11 server on the ssh client, or forward the requests to some other X server on the local network. man sshd tells me that generally there is some scripting magic to set X11UseLocalHost based on what DISPLAY is set to on the local system anyway.

Remove all references to X11UseLocalHost that you have added and leave it that way.

Now, ssh -X remotemachine, and do echo $DISPLAY, Then try an X utility and post us everything that it returns. Also check the log files on the X server and see if the requests have been rejected locally.
