Thanks again everyone, it's working after a reboot.  X has been
strange since the xorg-1.5 upgrade.  I noticed that ssh -X fails with
the same error message I've been getting, but ssh -Y succeeds.  man
ssh says:

-Y   Enables trusted X11 forwarding.  Trusted X11 forwardings are not
subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.

Security extension controls sounds like a good thing.  Does anyone
know why -X isn't working?
