What you are doing will work... But it's not actually forwarding the X
connection over ssh. Which, as long as you're not trying to be secure and
encrypted about it is fine and dandy. At the moment it's just a "normal" X
connection.
"xhost +" should not be necessary, as the connection should be coming from
the local end of the ssh session (as I understand it).
It's possible that you are using the ssh client that comes with Mac OS X,
which does not have X11 forwarding built into is
which ssh
should return "/sw/usr/bin/ssh" not "/usr/bin/ssh"
Also, when I said localhost... I meant localhost :) but the ip of the machine
should work too, not sure though... untested.
You should be able to start xclients from the terminal that you have ssh'ed
from on the local machine, otherwise the DISPLAY is incorrectly set. So, a
plain old:
ssh -C -X linuxhost.mydomain
from XTerm should also work. When you get there:
echo $DISPLAY
should be something like "linuxhost.mydomain:10" and definitely should have a
value, otherwise X11 forwarding isn't happening.
But hey... It's working for you now... So I'll pull my head in :)

Nathan
