OpenSSH 3.8 changed the way X forwarding works, with the result that
many programs break in confusing or subtle ways.

If that's what you're using, you can get the old behaviour back by
doing "ssh -Y hostname", or setting "ForwardX11Trusted yes" (in
addition to "ForwardX11 yes") in your ~/.ssh/config.
