Forwarding multimedia apps through SSH (Steam, Blender, XCOM, etc)

So, I have the basic forwarding. From what I read, rendering of apps I start from the ssh session should be rendered server-side.
I have tried: glxdemo, blender, steam (self-supplied runtime), vlc and firefox.
Firefox seems to work, vlc is rendering terribly slowly. The rest do not work.
The Steam site says that I should have the DISPLAY variable set, which I have.

Errory by app:
Steam: hangs on "installing breakpad exception handler"
Blender: Xlib error code 2 request code 155
glxdemo: X Error of failed request BadValue (integer parameter out of range of operation)

All of these work when ran on the "server". (The server is just a simple dekstop PC which I'm trying to control through my laptop through the LAN)

DISPLAY seems to be set to "localhost:10.0"

Is there a way to do what I am attempting to? Because there are signs pointing at both yes and no.

If need be, I can make do with SSH + VNC and in-home streaming for Steam. There is a bug where XCOM's initial screen is not shown on the client side, so I'm trying to do it this way.
