http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.13 OpenSSH stupidly uses untrusted X11 forwarding by default. It uses an extension that was speced 10 years ago, and badly needs revisiting for modern times. If ssh -Y works for you, that's your problem. Most vendors turn ForwardX11Trusted on, so complain to your vendor (if that's where you got ssh from) if this isn't the case. -Yosh _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
