I'm not sure what you mean, but the ssh man page says:


-Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding.  Trusted X11 forwardings are not
subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.

(Debian-specific: This option does nothing in the default configuration:
it is equivalent to “ForwardX11Trusted yes”, which is the default as
described above.  Set the ForwardX11Trusted option to “no” to restore
the upstream behavior.  This may change in future depending on
client-side improvements.)


And

alias sshy="ssh -Y "

in your .bashrc might give you something like what you're looking for
(assuming I understand what you're looking for). With no remembering the
option, no shift key, and a bit less typing.


I have next to no experience with the GUI package manager -- I use apt
or aptitude. I've had no trouble with ssh'ing around and using them on
alien hosts.

I also find it useful to create the ssh login codes so there's no pw
involved. I did this several years ago so I don't remember how to do it.
But, IIRC, it's not a big task -- took only 3 or 4 days to get it going.
