What CentOS (5) packages are needed to setup X11 forwarding? I don't want to install a full desktop, just the minimal to forward some server windows to my desktop.

Installing xorg-x11-xauth is usually enough.

Yeah I added that one (xorg-x11-xauth), xfs (started), and yet when i run an app, no go.
# ssh -Y user@remote_host
# app &
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org
So I tried installing a few fonts:
# yum install xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch
Still the same error.

Perhaps, run:
yum groupinfo "X Window System"
and look under the "Mandatory Packages" section for a clue?
