So am I missing something or is the whole dbus thing completely broken if you're trying to use X in the classic way with remote applications? I've done a few Google searches and didn't find anything very obvious about this so *maybe* there is something vital I'm missing, or maybe no one now uses remote X (at least not with Gnome).
Further Google searching has revealed the answer, simple but decidedly not obvious. I need to enter 'dbus-launch planner' at the remote prompt, this apparently tells the remote system that the dbus it needs to talk to is on my desktop.
Anyway, it works now.
