For some reason, I recall copying some magic-cookie or maybe ICEAuthority from one box to the other. I wish I could find my notes. I'll google a bit more. If you think of anything else, let me know :)
Try doing:
xhost + local: or xhost +
but I doubt that will solve the problem. The only thing that usually is needed is for the remote machine to have a ~/.Xauthority file, which is created when you run X or use ssh -X. No other ideas here.
Well, ssh creates the ~/.Xauthority file, you could try setting the XAUTHORITY variable after su-ing to root. So: XAUTHORITY=~USER/.Xauthority export XAUTHORITY
and then start your X apps.

Guys, Here may be something that will help. On my suse box, I can use x11 forwarding without any problem at all. When the connection is slow, I see a small xterm flash with the title 'xdg su' just before the X application starts. Maybe that will jog a memory or two. Since I have both OS's to compare -- which files are involved in handling the authentication for x forwarding? I'll do a side-by-side comparison and report back if I can figure out which files to compare -- thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
