I do have all the X11 forwarding stuff enabled and have for years.

But, the issue i was seeing last week is no longer of as much importance 
to me. This week, after logging out for the weekend, X11 forwarding 
seems to be working as it always has. I don't know what was wrong with 
my session last week, but it is fixed now. Usually when any packages 
related to X get updated i try to log out and back in fairly soon to 
make sure everything is consistently using the updated package, but 
perhaps i neglected to do that.
