I personally have never been able to get gvim to run over an ssh -X
connection to a jail. When I asked about this on this list I recall
being told that jails simply do not support X-windowing as a client.
# ssh -Xt hll124
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

[root@hll124 ~]# gvim
E233: cannot open display
If there is a way to get gvim to run a local window over ssh from a
remote jail then I would very much like to know how that is done.
