Not an answer but... One thing to remember is that server and client in X11
is the reverse of what you think. The server is the screen and the client
is the application.
ssh forward the X11 across the link then it comes out on the other side.
ssh generates a dummy 'x11 server' on the machine you are connecting to and
forwards the client application messages to that X11 server that you are
connecting to.
On the other side the X11 comes out as a 'client' and is forwarded to the
server screen that you started at.

Subject: [SLUG] X11 forwarding
Hi
I'm utterly puzzled. Perchance some wise person here can say ah-ha
One of my client-machine executes a GUI program from a server (ssh, X11
forward, public key etc)
One in 10 there is no display, the server side of the app is gone soon after
it starts (I see a short log of it's startup)
On the client: pos02 4568 4566 0 08:51 ? 00:00:00
/usr/bin/ssh -vv -lpos02 stmbk /opt/rms/session/pos02/pos02
oblivious of any woes on the server (but no gui)
Reboot the client and all is well until the next time it fails.
The only hint I see is this
AUDIT: Tue Oct 4 08:51:04 2011: 4338 Xorg: client 2 rejected from local
host
Thanks
