I'd like to be able to run an X application under ssh.  It's not so
critical for the machine in question, but it would be nice.

As I recall, I had this working previously, but I can't be sure (I didn't
use it extensively).  Since installing a 1.5_ALPHA snapshot for i386 and
re-installing ssh from pkgsrc, X forwarding doesn't seem to be working.

I've uncommented the ForwardAgent and ForwardX11 in both machine's
/etc/ssh_config, and can't see anything else that's different between the
new and hold setups.

(Well, one change is that the ``remote'' machine is now running with the
INSECURE kernel option removed.  Since I'm not actually running X---just X
clients---on that machine, that shouldn't matter, right?)
