The first thing to do is ensure that it works with 22 properly. Then
just change as above to 5317. I've just done this on one of my machines
after first ensuring that it works with 22 and performing a 'sudo
/etc/init.d/ssh restart on the 5317 target machine:

$ ssh -X <username>@<ipaddress> -p 5317
