Hmm looked through the mail again and saw:
|> > ssh -x remote-host
Have you tried "ssh -X", capital X, using small x disables ssh forwarding.
Sorry, sloppy typing. I've been using -X, the text in this email was a typo.
Meanwhile:

And this local, it is from the prompt you do ssh from?
Yeah. When I'm in Cygwin XFree86 on my local machine in an xterm, I've been typing 'echo $DISPLAY' to see what it's set to.

just a note, you are aware that the X traffic goes unencrypted when doing it this way (setting DISPLAY to host_done_ssh_from)?
Yes. Which is why I want to get SSH's X forwarding working already!

Assuming local_host here is host_done_ssh_from?
Yeah. I was on the remote machine (through a SSH session) and set DISPLAY to be the display of the machine I'm sitting at - which I've been calling local (because it's right in front of me).
Sorry, I guess I could've been clearer.

Huh. I think the problem is that I have the middle mouse button (the scrollwheel) set to double-click in Windows and that behavior is overriding what it would normally do in X - namely paste!
I exclusively run Linux on my personal machine at home, so not having paste is *really* frustrating!

There are work being done on this, check the mailinglist. xwinclip is the keyword I think.
I'll check it out; thanks.
