Fwd: ForwardX11 not working

Hi,
I have cygwin installed as a server on my desktop. I can log into it
from my linux box using ssh, but I cannot open displays on the linux
box.
By that I mean that if I login in using ssh, and invoke a command that
should open a window (like gnuplot), it opens the plot on the server,
and not on the client.
Here is my setup (the cygwin distribution is a few days old).
On the desktop (server),
- I have ran ssh-host-config and set CYGWIN=ntsec server. I said yes
to privilege separation, and I have an sshd user in /etc/passwd
- I have set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 in .bash_profile
On my linux box (client), I have an ~/.ssh/config file with the lines
in the section refering to the server: "ForwardX11 yes" and
"ForwardX11Trusted yes"
I can login to the server from both the linux box and my laptop (where
I also have cygwin), and can run unison (which requires ssh).
I read the various doc's and searched mails (does not mean I
understood everything), which resulted in the above setup. I am
including the output of cygcheck.
Any suggestions as to what I may have missed, or what server/client
setting I can look at?
Thank you,
Mirko
