What about doing something like this?

ssh -X host

which takes you into a shell. Then, print the environment for us. That
might reveal something. Also, try to run xclock once you are inside the
shell. I don't know why this would make a difference, but maybe we can get
more information.

you know, perhaps i'm just stupid and i don't understand this X-forwarding thing
at all, but from the logs you posted, i gather that this error message is *not*
from ssh (as it wasn't prepended with "debug0:" or something similar). so,
assuming it's an error from the X client (i.e., the X program running on the
remote machine), isn't it strange that it is trying to connect to localhost?
shouldn't that be 192.168.x.x (or 10.x.x.x, whichever you're using)?

i mean, to the X client localhost is the remote machine, while the display is on
the machine you're connecting from, where the X server is running. right?

Not in my setup.
Guessing actual IP comes from the SSH_CONNECTION variable built from
the SSH_CLIENT contents.

$ get_wan_ip.pl

$ echo $DISPLAY

ssh $USER(a)kitty

Hmmm?

On the server box...
$SRVR echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
$

On the client box...
$CLIENT echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
$

On the client box...
$CLIENT ssh $SRVR
$SRVR echo $DISPLAY

$

I just got a blank line on the RXVT I sshed to the SRVR on.

This looks wrong.
