For this do at home:
    xauth list

Find the right display, e.g. your_hostname/unix:0 and use everything
after and including :0 in the following line on your machine at work:

    xauth add :0 and the rest

Instead of :0 you can probably use any display number you like at work,
as long as the appropriate port is forwarded with ssh.
