Hi Alexander,

Thanks. It was working for me as per your suggestion, to set the XAUTHORITY environment variable. Apparently this message went out to the mailing list a little later though I sent it before my issue was resolved )

As discussed, this is not supposed to work.  You must not enable X forwarding.

This is supposed to work, but you need to set XAUTHORITY as I mentioned
to you in another reply.  Have you tried that?

Yes, but you may set XAUTHORITY to get around this issue.

You may.  Then you won't need to set XAUTHORITY manually.
