On Ubuntu I have (in /etc/ssh/sshd_config);
X11Forwarding yes

Typing on the Ubuntu machine I can run ssh -X and log in to the Slackware machine. I can run Thunar. I can navigate to a directory I want to copy a file from, and I can see the file. When I try to drag that file to the Ubuntu desktop I get this error message:

It sounds as if you are running a file manager on a remote system, displaying it locally, and then expecting to be able to drag files between the local and remote system. Perhaps that is possible, but I would be a bit surprised if that is somehow supported. No doubt someone will pop up and tell me that I'm wrong.

Anyway, perhaps you can accomplish what you want this way:

Since you have ssh working, sftp should also work for you.
