How to forward X over SSH from Ubuntu machine?

I have a machine running Ubuntu which I SSH to from my Fedora 14 machine. I want to forward X from the Ubuntu machine back to Fedora so I can run graphical programs remotely. Both machines are on a LAN.

I know that the -X option enables X11 forwarding in SSH, but I feel like I am missing some of the steps.

What are the required steps to forward X from a Ubuntu machine to Fedora over SSH?
