ForwardX11Timeout = 0 disables untrusted connections

Hi,

it seems that setting

ForwardX11Trusted = yes
ForwardX11Timeout = 0

causes untrusted connections to be refused immediately. While this 
certainly makes sense this way, I believe in this case ForwardX11Timeout 
= 0 might be better used for disabling the timeout entirely (the current 
behaviour is the same as ForwardX11Trusted = no).

Is there some reason while this would be a bad idea?

Thanks
Cheers
