I have done a clean install of FC11 (was FC10 before) and the same problem 
occurs on one site (the one I'm on now).

I linked in remotely yesterday and all was fine.
I use it from other sites no problem.
I've used it from this site and the problem occurs intermittantly, but today 
it's solid.

An example of a session from today. X seems to behave, but BASH auto-complete 
and screen handling doesn't.

Anyone got any ideas?

Just rebooted the laptop and the problem has gone away again. Another symptom, 
but doesn't help me diagnose the fault.

1 - checked and looks fine
2 - X works fine locally, and as I said yesterday works fine from a different 
site/subnet.

Selinux is set to permissive, but also didn't report anything

I have a number of servers FC7 to FC10 that I connect to, as well as a number

Can anyone suggest where I can start looking into the problem.  I'm not too

Dumb question - have you compared /etc/ssh/ssh.conf on your laptop
to the same file on machines that do not give you trouble? It sounds
like an xauth problem on the laptop...

# If this option is set to yes then remote X11 clients will have
full access
# to the original X11 display. As virtually no X11 client supports
the untrusted
# mode correctly we set this to yes.
ForwardX11Trusted yes
#


Two other things to consider, unlikely but easy to check:
1 - had the sshd.conf file been changed
2 - does X work properly at the console
and did you look at selinux alerts?
