I uncommented the following two lines:
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
The X11DisplayOffset 10 line did not exist.
After supplying my password, I get:
debug: Requesting pty.
debug: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
debug: Requesting shell.
debug: Entering interactive session.
..[snip login details]..
Then there is a pause (..this is new..)
And I get:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file
/home/jfreeze/.Xauthority
