I recently upgraded to Cygwin 1.5.7(0.109/3/2), including XWin release 4.3.0.56 installed from XFree86-bin-4.3.0-16.tar.bz2
Now when I try to run one particular remote X application (my MUA) I get this error:
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0xee Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream: 15
The remote (linux) machine has not had its sshd config changed since 2002. It has "X11Forwarding yes", and used to work fine.
If I ssh -X into the machine, DISPLAY is set to localhost:10.0

Any reason we don't tell people to use "ssh -Y" instead of "ssh -X"? That is the new command-line parameter to use trusted X11 forwarding and it works like a charm.
