X11 forwarding problem

[Hermann Gausterer]

hi

i have problems with the X11 forwarding,
TCP port forwarding works fine:

the tcp ports bind to ipv4 and ipv6 localhost,
but the X11 port (6010) binds ONLY to the
ipv6 localhost, which does not work with
the normal ipv4 programs :-(

is this a bug, or is this an hidden feature
