Hi, I seem to have missed a couple of posts in this thread. Have you got xauth installed? When I set up a new machine recently there was a missing dependency - I _think_ it was xauth. I installed a base system + knode + mozilla. I never installed X11 explicitly, as I never log into this machine locally, only use a couple of X11 apps remotely (because those aren't available on my Mac). I'm not sure if X11 itself was installed or only some X11~ish libraries, but there was definitely a dependency missing as a result of the way I installed. Unfortunately I didn't file a bug. Secondly, when you ssh in, you need to use `ssh -Y hostname` in order to enable ssh forwarding. Hope these observations are not unhelpful, Stroller.
