That's odd, I would have thought that would fix it.  That was the 
client's ssh_config?  Does "ssh -o ForwardX11Trusted=yes yourserver" do 
the same thing?

You can also try "X11UseLocalhost no" in the server's sshd_config (you 
will need to restart sshd).

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