Out of curiosity why do people still want gridengine to reimplement

The SGE-SSH integration is also useful for those who want X11
forwarding/display.

That's what I was wondering was the answer :)

In my opinion there are simpler ways round it as long as not having encrypted X11 within the cluster is ok:

As I've mentioned before, adding "X11UseLocalhost no" to a submit host's sshd config makes it bind your session's X11 forwarding port to the wildcard address (instead of just the loopback) and puts a real hostname in your DISPLAY variable. "qsub -V" then makes sure the compute nodes get it.
