ok,
I've run into this enough and found virtually nothing in either the howto's or online documentation.

it appears to be a permissions problem with teh X server.

even though I have X forwarding through ssh tunnle turned on, the X server locally will not accept remote connections from anywhere through ssh (unless they originate from a "root" account). 

This problem did not exist with the version of X under 3.3.5 but cropped up with version 4.x.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

one of the errors I get is:
GTK Error: Connection to <hostname>:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I would like to be able to use X apps without having to resort to Xvnc on the remote system
(why tie up more cpu cycles and bandwidth?).

HEEEEELP!

Techomage Hawke
