The problem is not that there is no X11-forwarding. For example, gv from the Linux remote host produces the correct display on the cygwin X-server. Similarly, xdvi and even netscape also work. However, if I try to run ical, a linux calendar program, I get the following error message:
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0x105 Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 16 The problem with Matlab was described in my earlier message. Is there anything else that I should send in to help debug, or is there something else I should try?

The rest of my cygwin installation is also up-to-date, including cygwin1.dll version 1.5.9-1. I use startxwin.bat to start XWin using -multiwindow -clipboard. I login to a remote Linux server using ssh -X and start a Matlab session. The Matlab flash screen comes up, but when the flash screen disappears, there is only a menu bar located at the top left corner of the screen. If I choose maximize, the Matlab command window comes up but I am not able to type in any commands. If I downgrade to openssh-3.7.1p2-2, the problem disappears. The sshd_config file is identical in both cases. There are other problems with X forwarding under openssh-3.8p1, but since I am now using openssh-3.7.1p2-2, I cannot reproduce the error messages. I don't know whether this is considered an openssh-3.8p1 problem or a X server problem, but there appears to be some incompatibility issue here.
