11 Your suggestion gave me the idea to run sshd with strace, the output
12 of which lead me here:

16 Even though the ssh server had ipv6 support in the kernel, and
17 ifconfig displayed an ipv6 as well as an ipv4 address it was failing.
18 I flailed around trying to find out how to disable ipv6 without
19 success. In the end I recompiled the kernel without ipv6 support and
20 now X forwarding works.
21
22 I am assuming that I failed to set up ipv6 routing or something?
23 Anyway, the problem is fixed, if not quite solved.

25 Thanks to everyone who replied.
