When you log in (from A to B), do you see:
Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding.
(this means X connections are denied, just like it says)
if not, while loggd in remotely on HostB, when you enter echo $DISPLAY, do
you see: HostB:10.0
or do you see something else?

I'd bet my bottom $ the X session isn't tunneled on SSH. You should not
have to run xhost + on the local box (or the remote one) to have an X
session from the remote box show up locally.

What version of SSH are you running on each system? I rarely use X11
forwarding, so I'm fishing a little here, but I've heard of problems with
openssh-3.x and X forwarding.
Who packaged/built the RPM/deb/tarball you're using?
