X server not reponding

[Dan Track]

Hi

Thanks for that. It was well worth reading. 

Unfortunately its still not working. I'll tell you what I'm doing. 

my box -----> intermediary box ------> remote box

between each I am using ssh -X ( I tried -Y aswell). Now that X is
listening to port 6000 ( although I don't know why I need to do that
if the display is going to be forwarded by ssh) I tried another app
and I got this:

 gthumb
Xlib: connection to "80.7.169.154:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


(gthumb:24715): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Any ideas. 

Thanks 
Dan
