Thanks! I setup up VirtualBox, installed Ubuntu 8.10 and set up openssh-server in the VM, and configured the VirtualBox NAT port forwarding per the user manual. I then logged in with ssh -Y two different times, once from a VT running in a XWin with GLX enabled, and then from a VT in another XWin with GLX manually disabled (-extension GLX). With XWin GLX enabled, glxinfo showed all the correct information, and glxgears worked, albeit *extremely* slowly. With XWin GLX disabled, of course neither worked, giving Xlib errors that GLX extension was not available. Other X11 programs worked in both cases, but interestingly the Ubuntu GTK+ engine was used only on the server with GLX enabled. So now I'm somewhat reassured that I did the right thing with GLX, although I certainly remain open to further discussion if anyone is having different results, or if there is insight into the speed issue.
