Ok, everything seems to be Ok in the target side!

A last test is to launch X11 « by the hand » on terminal and look if the XQuartz is really launched:
	$ /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11

I remember I had some problems with XQuartz since Catalina upgrade.
There has been no XQuartz update since 2016 and they indicate another solution to have X11 on Mac OS X: MacPorts (https://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html).

So I have switched to MacPorts install and I have no problems with Catalina.

Other thing, take a look on this URL: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029909/x11-forwarding-for-non-root-user-not-working
