On the box you are SSHing to, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for lines like:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
And on the machine you are SSHing from, check /etc/ssh/ssh_config for
ForwardX11 yes
Check ssh(1) and sshd(8). Now, about the stupid mismatch between these
two directives, I guess you should mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, that's interesting.
I made both setting as you indicated above; now when I ssh into westek,
I get this:
--------------
westek[westk]:/home/westk> echo $DISPLAY
westek:10.0
--------------
westek[westk]:/home/westk> gqview &
[1] 10168
--------------
westek[westk]:/home/westk>
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: westek:10.0
[1]+ Exit 1 gqview
So, progress has been made. My DISPLAY env. var. is now being set. But
it still doesn't work.
But what I find interesting is that from what I've understood from
everything I've read (including the man page for ssh), the command line
option -X overrides the config files. But this experiment seems to
indicate that to not be the case.
