Several people pointed out to use -Y instead and that works.  Sorry for 
the noise.

Except that is not a fix.  It indicates the application (or some library
it is using) is violating the X security extension.   Meaning that if
someone can misuse/fool such an application, it cannot just render into
it's window, but totally take over your X server from remote.

Lovely.  The gtk libraries are one of the worst offenders.  And one
day someone will use this flaw, to significant effect.
