If you really wanted to get around this, then the correct fix would be
to tell the gateway box to forward port 6000 to your internal home
machine, but a much better fix would be to use X11 forwarding when you
connect to your work machine:

ssh -X my.work.machine

instead of 

ssh my.work.machine

Also, make sure that X11Forwarding is set to yes on the work machine's
sshd_config file.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
