Hi Chris, For the X11 forwarding there is a plugin<https://github.com/hautreux/slurm-spank-x11>developed by Mathieu Hautreux. I don't know exactly how much updated is the plugin but it should work.
For the pty there is an option for srun called --pty which allows you to open a remote shell on the master computer node of the job as if you were sshing it.
