You are indeed missing what startx is is about.
It is launching the X11 server and some X11 clients on the host where it is run, i.e. on Solaris in your case.
That's no surprise nothing shows up on the Linux display.

gnome-ssh-askpass
GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1) General Commands Manual GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)
NAME
gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME
SYNOPSIS
gnome-ssh-askpass
DESCRIPTION
gnome-ssh-askpass is a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
invoked directly. It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
is available). This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
grams, for example.
In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are recognized:
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase.
Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab().
