I just sent patch fixing that. Hopefully next images will have that fixed.

My guess is that /etc/profile on the FreeRunner is overriding the
$DISPLAY environment-variable that sshd sets up, or something along
those lines. You didn't mention which distribution you're using
(OM2008.x? OM2009? SHR?), so I can't be sure, but...:
In SHR (which is what I run), this is what happens: ssh request X11
forwarding, sshd sets up forwarding and sets $DISPLAY to
"localhost:10" (for the first connection--other simultaneous
connections get higher numbers), my shell starts and sources
/etc/profile, /etc/profile contains a line that does
"export DISPLAY=localhost:0".
It wasn't always like this; I imagine that this was added to
/etc/profile as a bugfix because people didn't like having to do
"export DISPLAY=:0" to launch apps (and have them display locally on
the FreeRunner) from SSH logins.
Perhaps a better option would be to change /etc/profile so that it
instead does:
if [ "$DISPLAY" = "" ]
then
export DISPLAY=localhost:0
fi
... or something equivalent. Something like this would also work:
logger -t login "Login with DISPLAY on ${DISPLAY:=localhost:0}"
That posts a note about the login, and which DISPLAY value it used, to
syslog. The ":=" means `if the variable already has a value, use that
value; otherwise assign the following value to it'.
