I had this problem too... 
 
It does seem to be possible to run programs on another computer (a sshd 
server) using ssh -X (and view the windows on the clinet computer). 
 
Now ssh "tunnels" the X communications, so it sets DISPLAY to something like 
localhost:10.0, and redirects everything sent to the relevant port on the 
server computer to the X server on the client.  Therefore Wine must be looking 
at the DISPLAY environment variable, but not allow you to connect to a 
different computer. 
 
Perhaps this is something that is now disabled by default but can be enabled 
in a config file?
