Problem forwarding using 'ssh -X root at localhost' on FC3

[Michael L. Wright]

Hi,

I recently migrated from a desktop to a Compaq Presario 3000/R3306US laptop 
with nvidia video and upgraded from:
RH 7.2
XFree86-4.1.0-15
openssh-3.1p1-14

to:
Fedora Core 3
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.1
openssh-3.9p1-8.0.3.

Previously I was able to run apps as root by opening a console window, 
entering the command 'ssh -X root at localhost', then typing 'konsole &' (yes, 
KDE) to obtain a root console session without problems.

Now I get multiple error messages when I launch the root konsole window, 
though it does work.  Other applications such as glade throw additional 
errors and won't run.  Is this familiar to anyone? Does it sound like a 
problem with X or with ssh?

Launching the root konsole window:

Launching glade (glade launches, but as soon as I touch it with the mouse):

[root at Michael ~]# glade
Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  serial 3864 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  serial 3865 error_code 10 request_code 102 minor_code 0

and glade dies.

Any help will be very much appreciated, since I can't fully move to the laptop 
until this problem is solved.

Michael
