Dan nothing below is unexpected, or strange. Please tell us what you are trying to do, then we can answer more correctly.
For example, normally, you can't run firefox from the client, you can run it from the server and DISPLAY the results on the client. Likewise, normally, the client is not running a X session so you cant ssh the server and run remote X, but when you can, you would normally run ssh -X server. So to answer your questions, what are you trying to do 'normally' James > I've got an odd problem.
