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.
