Thanks for the hints on this, I've managed to get it working without the warning message. Here's what I did:
bash$ xauth xauth> add :0 . hexnumber # I used FACEFEEDFACEFEED xauth> add localhost:0 . hexnumber xauth> exit my .ssh/config has: ForwardX11Trusted yes XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth Next, I have a little macro in .bashrc: startapp() { (ssh -Xn $* &) ; } declare -fx startapp Then, to start a remote application (xterm in this case) I do: bash$ startapp othernode xterm I haven't done exhaustive testing, but seems to do the trick. By the way, the new Cygwin/X bits are GREAT! Thank you for the great update!!!
