One more addendum
If X11UseLocalhost no
is required for the application
It can be made to work with
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
X11UseLocalhost no
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
but also, set
OPTIONS=-4
in /etc/sysconfig/sshd
then restart sshd
I remember this was a bug that developed in OpenSSH for Solaris, and
I don't know if it was ever fixed there either.
