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

All the machines are ssh configured to do X forwarding and when the laptop was here (my mom's laptop which I configured for her) I was able to ssh into it and display stuff so I assume it's something to do with the machine in the middle? Thanks in advance, Mark
