List,

Is it possible to do a text install (<512RAM) of C6 server, with support for X11 forwarding over ssh, and get geany (editor) to work over ssh?

Yes.

I got X11 forwarding to work when I have a full Xfce desktop, but not with a server setup.

I would like to golf this... IOW find the minimum number of packages.

Any hints or kickstart configs for the needy?

There's really not much you need to install. Minimal install + xauth + gedit and I'd have thought you were there. xauth is the important bit that you can accidentally miss off. You just need to check for ssh X forwarding working. ssh -Y to your server and "echo $DISPLAY". If it's not defined, you've got a problem.
