I had this the other way around. Turned out that xauth was not being run
properly from sshd because /etc/ssh/sshrc existed and was not running
xauth. After you login you can use "xauth\nlist" and it should have a
couple of entries and be using an authority file /tmp/ssh-xxxx/cookies.
The path to xauth is set by the configure script but can be overridden in
sshd_config.
