Quick note on this.... Right around the time that Theo discovered the
joys of X11 forwarding's hidden uses, the forwarding was split into 2
pieces of functionality.
You have a -X and a -Y parameter you can use when invoking ssh. -X
will do X11 forwarding and works with most remote apps except for the
ones it doesn't. The ones it doesn't work with, are usually programs
that do 'weird' things. Like say... the gimp. For those, you can
enable trusted X11 forwarding with -Y if you choose to and try again.
Short message (an example errors) is this:
http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#3.13
The distinction between trusted and untrusted mit magic cookies is an
exercise for the reader.
