[CentOS] CentOS 4 - problem with remote X application

    RHML> ForwardX11 yes 
    RHML> ForwardX11Trusted yes

    JH> That should make it work the way you expect.

Cool, cool, cool.  This problem burned me a week or so ago.  I
figured out the ForwardX11 change, but I was too busy with the end
of the semester to look into it any more than that, so never had a
clue about ForwardX11Trusted.

Luckily, the problem didn't seem to affect my Mac, so I've been
using that as my main system.  Until the start of this week, when
I started having the same problems with X on my Mac after
upgrading to Tiger, which was a pretty big clue, but I still
wasn't sure exactly where the problem was.

Johnny probably should have stressed that you need to add the
ForwardX11 and ForwardX11Trusted keys on your client machine (the
machine your X server is running on).  Knowing about the -Y flag
is also a Good Thing.

Thanks!
