1 Hi,
2 I'm on a Gentoo box here and ssh'ed into a remote network at my
3 folks house. When I log into the Gentoo machine that the router points
4 to (my dad's desktop) I have no problem displaying an X app
5 (gnome-terminal for instance) running on that machine here on my
6 screen. However when I ssh from that machine into another machine on
7 the network I am unable to get an X app to display here due to dbus
8 and/or X problems:

58 Is there an obvious fix to this? All the machines are ssh
59 configured to do X forwarding and when the laptop was here (my mom's
60 laptop which I configured for her) I was able to ssh into it and
61 display stuff so I assume it's something to do with the machine in the
62 middle?

64 Thanks in advance,
