Problems with ssh and X

[Jean-Sebastien Trottier]

Hi Christian,

If I recall my past life properly, -Y (X11ForwardingTrusted) does not
enable -X (X11Forwarding)...

Try this instead:
    ssh -X -Y -l username remotemachine

Also, when you get bored of using command-line options, read 'man
ssh_config'

G'day,
JST
