Try looking at the -Y flag to see if that helps your situation. I've
gotten lazy (admittedly) and just run -XY on my connections when I
need them these days.
Going from the Ubuntu machine to the Slackware machine, ssh -Y performs
the same as ssh -X. In other words nothing happens and it is closed by
<ctrl>C.
Going from the Slackware machine to the Ubuntu machine, ssh -Y connects.
But when I run caja, it opens on the Ubuntu machine's display.
So ssh -Y doesn't help in my situation. Thanks for letting me know that
-Y exists, though.
