10.5: A few tips on using X11 in 10.5

Doesn't work if I "ssh -X" into a remote system and try to start an X application (such as MatLab).

ssh X11 forwarding is broken with it. I suspect ssh doesn't know how to forward to a Unix socket. It's OK if you start the X server manually and set $DISPLAY to localhost:0

To enable xterm on remote computers:

On your LOCAL machine, edit /etc/ssh_config:

Host *
   ForwardX11 yes
   ForwardX11Trusted yes

On your REMOTE machines, edit /etc/sshd_config:

X11Forwarding yes

It's "ssh -Y" that does the trick.
