Still no go. Did you try -Y instead of -X? It has never been clear to me which things need -Y so I generally just use -Y all the time. Also adding -v or -vv to the ssh args will sometimes show the details about what is failing. You probably need the xorg-x11-xauth package if you don't have it. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
