I have /etc/ssh/sshd_conf entery of: X11Forwarding yes (which is the default config, as is everything else)
When I try to run X-based programs from another PC's ssh session, I get errors like:

I'm probably missing some little variable somewhere, but heavens know if I can find it.
Is the other machine a linux? Are you using ssh -X to log in? It sounds like the programs aren't trying to use ssh based X forwarding but rather regular X connections, this is usually because you didn't use the -X flag to ssh
They are both SuSE 90 installations. I am not using 'ssh -X' to login. I'm opening an ssh session to the remote machine and trying to run X based applications from that machine onto my desktop. This was done under Debian by setting the X11Forwarding to yes. Why it isn't working here has me stumped. It should be really easy.
