Also, while searching for more information on this issue at Google
I've
found many posts¹, articles and blogs² pointing to a
problem with X forwarding and ipv6 though I'm not sure this is going
to
be the case for this but it can be something to consider :-?

Which says that to overcome a bug that gets tickled when you disable
IPv6, you have to add
AddressFamily inet
to the server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
Camaleón, you are awesome! (I'll bet you knew that... <-: )
I *never* would have guessed that disabling IPv6 was causing my
problem. And if I did, I *really never* would have guessed that work-
around!
For reasons that need not concern us here, I need to disable IPv6 on
the portion of my lan containing the two servers in question. I never
guessed it would cause problems for X11 over ssh. I will file a bug
report ASAP against openssh-server. I've spent over a week tracking
this one down.
And the awesome part is that you, Camaleón, didn't know that i had
disabled IPv6, but you *still* found the necessary magic. You are a
wonderful asset to the Debian-user community. We are privileged to
have you with us!
Thank you!
Rick
