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.
