3.13 - I upgraded to OpenSSH 3.8 and some X11 programs stopped working.

As documented in the 3.8 release notes, ssh will now use untrusted X11 
cookies by default. The previous behaviour can be restored by setting 
ForwardX11Trusted yes in ssh_config.

Symptoms include BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) and BadAccess 
(attempt to access private resource denied) errors.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
