It is a feature ... really, it is (according to RH) :).  Here is a quote
from the RH mailing list:

---------------------
I think by default X11Forwading is now disabled in SSH. You can either
use 'ssh -X' or change it in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config. I have the
following in mine:

 ForwardX11 yes
 ForwardX11Trusted yes 
--------------------

That should make it work the way you expect.
