Hi,

however I get  an error message when  I try to open an X application on the 
remote machine

debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.

Searching the error messages was not very helpful, it seemed like X could give 
out these messages for quite a number of reasons none of the available posts 
seemed to fit my problem.
My windows manager is xmonad-0.7_2 
Any clues?

Thanks in advance,

Alasdair
