I seem to recall reading that X forwarding doesn't work
with wayland. Could that be relevant here?
Not sure... I did try forwarding from my home desktop to my work laptop and it was broken, can't find the display so that looks like my problem. I'm not sure what changed. I'm using Xming which hasn't had a new release since 2007 and PuTTY which is usually pretty reliable and looking at the log there everything looked fine.

When you log into your wife's computer, do a simple "echo $DISPLAY". You
should get something like "localhost:10.0" or something back. If you get
nothing, then you should check /etc/ssh/sshd_config (or the files in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config.d) on your wife's computer and verify that you have
"X11Forwarding yes" set. If not (it's disabled by default), set it and
restart sshd on your wife's computer.
Going to try that for my desktop now at this point. I was accidentally changing the settings in ssh_config instead of sshd_config but once I took I peak it seems that X11Forwarding is defaulted yes on a fresh F27 install.
Thanks,
Richard
