I have been unable to find any X application that runs over an ssh X11
tunnel with OpenSSH 3.8 without either -Y or ForwardX11Trusted. Even my
stand-by for quick checking, xclock, fails.

If you want to use X11 over ssh with the latest OpenSSH, you really need
to always use ForwardX11Trusted. While I understand the reason for it,
it really strikes me as excessive (or maybe redundant).
