Is X forwarding enabled in bilbo's sshd? Does seneca's X server allow remote connections (check with 'xhost')? I found out that when using X over ssh, ssh(d) makes a display (:10 and up) on the host machine that the X clients connect to. ssh then reads from that connection and sends the data over the ssh connection to the client, who then decrypts it and gives it to the real X server. When you see connection to bilbo:10.0 broken it means that ssh(d) dropped the X connection on the host, probably because it can't manage to forward to the real X server on the client. -D
