Works with the bundled OpenSSH

Actually, no it's not with the bundled SSH.


% echo $DISPLAY
/tmp/launch-cSyFF5/:0
% ssh -Y vali  
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
[...]
% echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0
% xterm
[X11 starts, followed by xterm]

If you're using a customized SSH (someone on the x11-users mailing list had trouble with a GSI version) then you can patch it.
